Are Their any Tube Preamp with Home Theater Bypass?


Does anyone have experience with a decent tube based preamp with a home theater bypass feature?

@lalitk your comments show that you do not understand ht bypass.  HT bypass has exactly zero impact on 2 channel sound.

But there are many in the same boat who avoid HT bypass because they think it is a compromise.

Not a fan of Primaluna but I think they have an HT bypass.

My tube integrated has 2 inputs.

I use my DAC as a preamp so I turn up the volume to max on my integrated.  With the volume turned up to max, each input is the equivalent to an HT bypass (HT bypass bypasses the preamp).  

So my DAC goes into one input and my HT goes into the other.  Works great.

Mine that I described above.  

If I misunderstood your comment is is probably because i've heard so many people that think HT bypass is something in the signal path for 2 channel sound.  So I guessed that you were in that camp.  

There are quite a few good integrated SS amps with HT bypass.
