Set the preamp to MONO L+R, and connect either output (L or R) to the power
amplifier input.
amplifier input.

Ok. Do I use the left and right output from "1" and "2"? Or just from one or the other?

Nice amps.
I remember years ago building an integrated :sigh:stereo amp when stereo was new(58 or 59).
The inputs were marked channel 1 & channel 2.
The front controls were marked A + B, A or B.(called mode selection)
The speaker connections were marked Left or Right. The manual had little to explain the difference.
It took me a while to organize my brain to correctly connect everything.
I know this has little to do with what your situation is but I thought you needed some time.

If you have ONE mono amplifier, set the preamp to "Mono" and take one RCA cable to the amplifier. Connect it to either the Left or Right output on the preamp...doesn't matter which as when the preamp is set to Mono, the signal is the same.
You should most likely connect it to the Low Filter RCA input, as I can't imagine your Dynaco wants to see the really low (below audibility) stuff your Accuphase is capable of passing along
Nice gear btw!

I stand corrected then. Unless you're using a very small speaker with little deep bass output, use the RCA input labled "INPUT"

I have a pair of Dynaco Mark VI amps and I will be using them as monoblocks.

OK, then take the Left output from your Accuphase preamp and plug it into the RCA Input of the amplifier you've connected to the Left speaker.
Repeat for the process for the Right amplifier
Run the accuphase in stereo as usual. Amp #1 will amplifyt the left channel, amp #2 will handle the right. Easy Peasey.

Then you connect one of the L outputs to an amplifier and the corresponding R
output to the other amplifier. I understand there are two pairs of outputs
to allow you to drive another stereo power amp, just leave the second pair alone.
Added note: I guess I wrote essentially the same thing as redcoates7. Regards.

I think its clear now.
There are two pairs of outputs and I am to use one pair. I will pick the top which is marked #1. And leave it in stereo.
I guess when I first looked at this I thought it was like the outputs on my other amps with 2 channels with a + and - going to each speaker but this is a preamp and I think thats why I am confused.
