Forgive my ignorance in advance,I'm new to McIntosh..First,on the 7008,do I select analog fixed or variable? Second,where should I run the 7008 rca's to on the pre-amp? As soon as Terry finishes my MR 77,I will be hooking this into the system also. Any help will be greatly appreciated..ps,love the forum

If you are using a preamp, use the fixed outputs on the cd player. As far as the input on the preap, just use the AUX input.

Thank You!!!
