Blue Bear Sound New member Mar 24, 2005 #2 You *can* do it, but it isn't advisable......... you'd be incurring a lot more noise and degradation running the signal thru 2 gain stages like that, particularly if they're not top-end pres.

J Jross New member Mar 24, 2005 #3 What about using the line in with no gain......wouln't it act as a passthrough?
apl Stand Up Comity Mar 24, 2005 #4 Preamp -> Line in is fine. You said the second unit is your soundcard, right?
J Jross New member Mar 24, 2005 #5 it would be tube preamp ---> line in of regular mic preamp w/ no gain added-----> soundcard
