Typically a Pre-amp is designed to be able to drive any amp,
and to do so with a wide variety of cables/ICs-
In an Integrated amp setting - much of the unknown challenges disappear
assuming that there is NO Phono stage, the new requirement is for the pre-amp to drive the amplifier to meet the specs/goals of the designer
This might simply be - as indicated above - input switching and volume control-
With out the need to rive cables over unknown lengths, the integrated may eve be able to use a section of the input driver tubes for the small amount of gain necessary to have an active Pre-amp
Pre-amps can be very simple
Happy Listening
