Preamp with external processor loop

Thanks ws.  I will do some searching on that.  Cheers!

Thanks Eric.  It will be used to loop in another processor.

I understand the tape monitor loop works the same way, but doesn't that mean that the tape loop (example Tape 1) is the only thing that could be selected on the Input selector for the preamp?
I don't know how the HT Bypass works exactly - but assume something similar.
(Pardon the ID change - I created a new ID to post and then Audiogon was kind enough to get me back my old ID.)

Thanks soix and gakerty. Will be looking into both the options youve shared. 

I guess the HT bypass doesn't work in the situation where the external processor is a passive equalizer only (ie no preamp controls). 

High end audio discourages the use of tone controls and equalizers. But those of us who have extensive LP collections, some of the albums are very old and having some control over tone is acceptable and even sometimes necessary. I wish preamp makers would recognize that and give us more options.

I am able to rig this up using a preamp with ability to select source and playback separately using tape loop, but modern preamps even omit those. 

Ugghh.
