Only issue I can think of is that the QUAD power amps need only 500mV
for full power. Most preamps are designed to work with power amps
needing 1-2 volts, so you may find that the volume control is somewhat
fierce. That's easily solved with a 6 or 10dB attenuator at the output
of the preamp.


To keep things standardized, it's better to put the divider in the
power amp.
I do that, anyway.

One other thing of concern: a CD player puts out 2 Vtt max.
Most preamps are too sensitive at their inputs, a voltage divider at
the CD input, consisting of 2 resistors solves that as well.
That way, switching from CD to another source won't leave you with
bleeding ears and a quick twist of the volume knob every time ;-)
