Hi JBGood,
I got your private message but I thought I'd answer it here for the benefit of other forum readers.
Part of the problem is that you are not specific enough in your use of terms, so we're somewhat confused.
You have two receivers (not integrated amps) and you want to use the pre-outs on one to feed the line-level inputs on the other receiver.
Further to the comments of JohnK and KenC, you can only do this if the inputs are labeled "amp in", which would feed the pre-out input signal to the amplifier section of the other receiver and bypass that receiver's preamp section. You would then use the volume control of the pre-out receiver to control the volume because the volume control is in the pre-amp section of the receiver and controls the pre-out signal level to the amp in the other receiver.
However, if you mean feeding the pre-out signal into a line-input on the other receiver, and into its preamp, NO, don't do this for the reasons mentioned by JohnK and Ken.
Hope that clears things up.
Regards,
Alan
