So you have a great hi end stereo preamp, but

What are you talking about try english.

Not all, but many hi-end stereo preamps have HT bypass.

Let it go already!

we have a new village idiot with a megaphone polluting the environment

He has a avr. He's actually using it. Nuff said.

So why don’t avr and stereo worlds get along?

don’t play together well.

the world is changing. People who have avr’s have the capacity to appreciate stereo music.

" People who have avr’s have the capacity to appreciate stereo music. "

Well in one of your other similar preamp threads you stated that you don't really enjoy listening to music and yet all of this angst.

This might be a good time to submerge for a while.

Google Home Theater Bypass.  It will allow you to bypass your crappy AVR and get better sound quality when watching movies, concerts, or whatever.

"Emerging" soul, where did you get stuck? May I recommend some synthetic oil or, better, taking a few more moments to compose your OP? Otherwise, it's just a time-suck.

Where this guy “Emerge” from? Really uninspired posts of late. Almost novice or troll like.🤔

Problem here is that you can’t achieve a high level of stereo SQ when stereo preamps and avr’s are in same system without a lot of addl operating costs and inconvenience.  These two worlds don’t like to share main speakers.  The world is evolving and soon avr’s and stereo preamps will have to play more nicely together.  For now, this relationship is troubled.  
Presently, stereo enthusiasts and home theatre users don’t enjoy working together.  I am a loyalist of both sides.

Ok..

Enjoy yourself, in the mean time.  Do some research,  save your money and away you go.

It's easy enough, ay.. Best of both worlds. Good by to the old, hello to the new..

After reading his last post I think you should have said, "Okay, enjoy yourselves."

Why can't the OP use a HT processor that has analog pass through so the analog signal bypasses it's DAC, straight to the amps?

Oh, he can. For sure. Probably does. So what? Its still ruining the sound merely having the thing in the same room. People probably think I’m kidding, or exaggerating. I am not. I tried all this stuff, and with much better processors than any avr! HT is a wasteland. Guaranteed to bring down any system, any price, even just being in the room and turned on. Not even necessary to connect it to anything. Its that bad.

The great writer Harlan Ellison, speaking of Joan Collins, said, "Her mind is a vast barren plain, across which winds play, endlessly." That’s HT.

I have my AVR surround system in one room and my hi end stereo system in another.  The sound that comes from the hi end system has  depth, air and 3 dimensionality, and the texture of the music.  The AVR system thumps,and punches in a solid 2 dimensions, even though its a surround system.  There is no delicacy.  Some of my friends prefer the AVR system.....

I figured it out.  OP is really Dory from Finding Nemo.  Ugh.

The problem was discussed on different forums before and most common conclusion is to have two separate systems. 

you can’t funnel any sound from your ht system thru this magical box.

Uh, sure you can. With ****any**** preamp.

She was good in his episode of Star Trek tho’

Same question opened in different threads over and over, looks familiar:

I have a stereo pre-amp & a HT Receiver with line level outputs.

HT L/R outputs feed an input on the stereo preamp. Set stereo to fixed volume (80 dB) for HT use. Calibrate HT at that level, adjust theater volume with HT Receiver.

as i said in an earlier post, this is the new village idiot with megaphone in hand, same blather and nonsense over and over again

You hurt my feelings.  Time for some uplifting Barry Manilow youtube vids from my amazing ht system.

Nonsense.

There's plenty of products known to improve sound merely being plugged into an outlet. So we know for a fact things plugged in can affect the sound quality of other things that are plugged in. You seem to think this is a one-way street. That things connected to the grid cannot harm sound quality.

Nonsense.

It's pretty simple really, AVR's suck for 2 channel audio! They were designed for multi channel surround sound, and that's the domain that they should stay in. If you desire quality 2 channel sound, then you will need to open your wallet. Anything else is just a compromise. 

Its still ruining the sound merely having the thing in the same room.

With due respect, I suggest that musical enjoyment is not ruined by an AVR but rather by this type of attitude.

Besides, it's pretty easy. There are great preamps with HT bypass as mentioned above. 

My gear doesn't have that, but it does have balanced XLR outs - I use a preamp and a separate HT pre/pro (no amp stage).  I built a Neutrik connector patch bay and it works perfectly well and is basically the same as throwing a switch, probably better. Amps get the signal from the patch bay to their XLR inputs.  

The patch bay does more than this too - you can switch signals to different amps, easily patch in a piece of visitor gear, or whatever.  But of course that makes my listening room look more like a pro audio studio than a Temple to Sound.
