Connecting stereo pre-amp to AVR pre-out

[bobroham]

I have a Denon 12 channel AVR which I would like to use as a source to my Mark Levinson stereo pre-amp to power my L/R channels.

My question is, can I use the pre-out ports on my AVR to connect my stereo pre-amp?

Denon: AVP-A1HDCI
Mark Levinson: no.28

Just saw this and I think you guys don't get the point. You connect the AVR front preouts to the ML preamp which then connects to the front amps. The amps in the AVR power the surrounds and center. You do this so you can go directly into the Levinson pre for better stereo music quality and not have to disconnect anything. You do need to leave the Levinson pre at a fixed volume when you use the AVR so all channels maintain balance.
A "receiver" in audio is defined as a single box that contains a preamp, amp, and radio. Leave out the radio and it is an "integrated amp".

And if it doesn't have a pre amp or an amp then the same thing could be referred to as a tuner.
