Difference between an amp, pre-amp, receiver, and an integrated amp?
Question: As i understand it,
a preamp has inputs and outputs, but requires an amp to power the speakers.
receivers have a preamp and amp built in, and they also have a built in tuner.
An integrated amp is the same as a receiver but it doesnt have a tuner.
Is this correct?
Answers: Yes, quite correct.
Exactly. The amp only powers the speakers. The preamp directs what's going on with the various inputs and volume control. A tuner simply tunes am or fm and must be hooked up to the preamp. A receiver has everything built into one unit.
You actually have it figured out pretty well.
