I've been bitten by the home stereo bug , as a young man I couldn't afford a thing, and I went through the Bose Lifestyle thing later in life, love it for the u-music, but that's where the love affair ends, and have decided it's time for a decent older system.
A customer of mine gave me a Yamaha RX-460 a little over a year ago, which was probably a bad thing in hind site !
Soon after, I found a CDC-625 on the cheap, and used them as a garage system with a clean pair Pioneer CS-722A speakers and it was just fine for that.
As I bring the system in each fall due to the extreme cold in northern WI, this year is different, it's time to begin building an older Yami system for inside.
I started with Pioneer HPM100's & HPM60's to a/b [which will likely change at some point] along with a Yamaha MX600 amp.
I will eventually replace the carousel cd player with a CDX-1000u or better.
Though Eq's are generally frowned upon, I was given a clean EQ-1100U and will give it a try.
So finally getting to my question, can I use the RX425 to control the MX600 until I obtain a CX-800U/1000 or the like ? The receiver does not have pre outs, but does have the tape record outs. This will be short term, so until I find the "Right" pre amp and tuner , I would like to utilize the system.
I had initially considered simply going with the RX-1100U , but as a musician I realize the benefits of using an amp and pre amp as opposed to a receiver.
Any thoughts?
thanks,
