the fellow recommending the Technics processor and a three channel amp makes sense. My only addition to that is that the Technics was a relatively inexpensive product. I acquired a used Sony ES dolby digital processor; it also has the analogue pass through. But, I use a little passive rca interconnect switch box to connect my stereo preamp (McIntosh C22) and my processor. This works great; the main outs from the sony processor can feed the audio note tube amp or the main outs from the mcintosh feed it...
the switch box was made by an outfit called db audio
