I wonder if someone could help...quite simply, can I use an Accession with just an Arcam Delta 290P power amp? I have a Delta 290 integrated that was paired with the 290P, but the input selector is so hit and miss that it is almost unlistenable...so can I use it with just the power amp, the Accession providing the volume? If so, what do I connect to what, with particular regard to the power amp end!
Thanks in advance for any help afforded:)

I have an accession MC on loan. It has a gain knob and variable rca out. I haven't tried it, but it should work. I'll try it later today and report back.

Connect the variable RCA output to the “PWR amp in” input.
Turn the volume down on the Accession, and power on the amp. Turn the volume up on the Accession.

Many thanks to all who helped...up and running again! 
Another spot of advice needed if possible.....I have the Accession m , being fed by a Rega P8 fitted with a Rega Exact m.m cartridge....is there an "optimum" load" for this cart, or is the "100" setting good to go?
Best regards etc.:)

I have an Exact and it was fine on 100 or 220pF preamp load. So 100pF on the AccMM should be good.

Just seen this thread and thought I’d chime in. I had an Accession M on loan and tried it as a pre into the HT Direct input of my old MF A5 integrated with good results. It was interesting because some recordings sounded better via the normal input and some were better through this method and I never could figure out a common denominator! I now have the Reflex M on loan and am also enjoying it but the Accession definitely has the edge on it - which is hardly surprising!
