Pre with HT bypass that will improve over Krell

Is there a Pre with HT bypass that would give me a pronounced improvement on 2-channel over my Krell Showcase? I'd like to keep the HT functionality but was curious if any Pre would give me more than subtle improvement. Mccormack RLD1? Any others? Would probably buy used and try to keep it under $2K. Thanks for any ideas or insight.

I'd recommend the Audio Research LS-16. I've heard it against a Krell Showcase and it cleanly beats it. Much more musical, wth a better separation of instruments and a more open, airy sound. You should be able to get 1 here for around $1500.

Best wishes,
