Does Fisher 800B have a main in hookup?

[jbdyson]

Maybe a simple question, but I'm interested in using my Marantz 2270 as a preamp with a Fisher 800b's main amp section. From pics, it's not obvious how I should hook it up on the Fisher end. I've purchased the Fisher, but not yet received the unit. Any advice on the best way to go about this would be appreciated. If not possible or asinine, that would be good to know as well.

Why not use the Fisher's excellent preamp section?

The 800B does not have a Power Amplifier IN jack, nor a Preamp Out jack, either. About the best you could do is to set the Fisher for flat operation, plug the output of your preamp into the Aux input, and then set the 800B's volume control so that the volume control on your preamp operates normally within its normal operating range.

Thanks for the responses!

I'd wondered if I could just plug to aux in. I've also read about going tape out (Marantz) to tape in (Fisher). What would that do differently if anything?

I like the 2270's controls. I also have room for one set of JBL's (first world problems) and want to use both receiver at once. Feels like such a waste not to...
