Hello all! I’m looking to add some amp channels to my setup and I’m wondering how involved it would be to connect my avr’s pre-outs to the amplifier section of my mothballed old avr which does not have preamp inputs – an Onkyo TX-NR1010. I’ve poked around the forums here and done a bunch of internet searches but I can’t seem to find much discussion on a project like this.
I realize that given the lesser quality of amps in an avr this may not be a common activity vs purchasing external amps but the measurements of the Onkyo’s amps look decent per Archimago’s testing of a similar unit and I enjoyed the sound quality when it was in the system.
If you’ve got a link to share for something similar that’d be much appreciated or advice along the lines of…”Yeah, you just gotta wire an RCA jack onto the amplifier board” vs “Hmmm…you're taking on lots of steps that require an electrical engineering degree."
Thanks much!
