I gave that a try a few days ago. I used my Quicksilver phono preamp that has a gain of 44 db with an output impedance of 3 K ohms, using a Grado cartridge with 1.5 mv output. My amps are Quicksilver with an input impedance of 100 K ohms and an input sensitivity of 1.9 volts. The outcome was I could not get much volume, so I went back to using a line stage in the loop. Hope you have better luck!
