Seems same level of spending toward a stereo preamp must provide opportunity to get an amazing ht preamp with a great stereo capability+1 @jond — and no, spending the same on a prepro in general will get you lower parts quality for stereo as a lot of $ in the prepro needs to go toward electronics to handle processing and the other channels. Plus you have a bunch of noisy digital electronics in the same box as the stereo signal, which is suboptimal. If you’re happy with your HT as it is but want improved or optimal 2-channel performance, just get a stereo preamp — period.
High end stereo preamp vs mc preamp?
So thinking about spending $10-15k for a quality stereo preamp for bypass use with ht system. Have a middle of the road avr, which is now used as a preamp, which sounds fine for ht.
now wondering if a hi end ht preamp, 5 to 7 channels, exists that achieves a level of quality offered by a high end stereo preamp. Seems same level of spending toward a stereo preamp must provide opportunity to get an amazing ht preamp with a great stereo capability
