Preamp with external processor loop

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.)

Quite a few of the Conrad Johnsons have processor loops - my Premier 14 has two. It also has remote control.

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

 Tape loop lets you set whatever you want as input, then there's a separate "Tape in/Tape out" switch.

Tape out is normal, Tape in lets you hear what the processor is doing.

You don’t need an HT bypass at all.  You can use any line-level input (let’s say Aux) and just level match that with your processor.  What I did was set my preamp’s volume knob to 12:00 in Aux and then matched the rest of the processor’s channels to match volume with that.  Then all you have to do is switch to Aux and put volume knob at 12:00 and you’re done.  HT bypass is a little more convenient, but not necessary.  This also opens up a TON more options for you for a preamp.
