I for one, think the theater bypass is not necessary at all. I have a CAT w/o such feature.What I do is take a set of ics. Plug them from the "fronts-out" on the processor /into an input on the pre. My cdplayer goes into the cd input my HT fronts go into any other input/say aux or whatever.(just not the phono).So when listening to 'ht' I just go to aux input. Do the ss level from the pink noise test / from the processor. I just remember where on the volume pot needs to be. REPEAT;change to the aux input/change the volume acordingly each time you do "HT" Not such a big deal.
Theatre Bypass Mod for CJ Preamp?
I am about to aquire a CJ tubed pre amp for my system. The deal is too good to pass on. My original plans had been for an Adcom GFP-750 based on the feature allowing my theatre controller to bypass the pre amp. Does anyone know of a reliable tech that may be able to provide the same feature on my CJ pre-amp? I am thrilled to be able to make the step to a tubed front end, but at the same time really concerned that it may be a moot point if I cannot integrate it smoothly into my system.
