Is it possible to connect a power amp to record output of the Brio-R ? I'm in a brain storm of What amp to buy...? I have Brio R budget but I don't like to be limited in future upgrades. Any input on the subject will be welcome...

RE: Rega Brio-R Question?

The Brio-r has a dedicated audio out channel for recording - I use it for

recording lp to cd to computer - along with 5 inputs.

There are no pre-outs for a power amp.

I know this, but I wonder if that output can be used for other purposes?

RE: Rega Brio-R Question?

Thats a 'line out' . . . cant that be taken to feed a power amp, using the Brio as a preamp?

You still can't connect a power amp to it.
