I just realized that the Sx-850 has jumpers in a pre-out/power-in...

Can I plug a tube amp thru that connection? If yes, whats the connection sequence?

Muchas gracias

850 PreOut to your amp's PreIn then leave the "IN" alone on the 850. . .Of course pull the jumpers and go LtoL and RtoR

Sure you can if it has pre-out/main-in jacks on the back....

Just use a pair of good quality sheilded RCA interconnects to connect the pre-out jacks on the receiver to the input jacks on the amp(s).

Just was going to try this myself on my SX-828 which suddenly has no sound despite the tuner functioning. I noticed though that the RCAs were really so closely spaced that none of my good ICs would fit! *&*()%$!
