Are Their any Tube Preamp with Home Theater Bypass?


Does anyone have experience with a decent tube based preamp with a home theater bypass feature?

I currently use a tube preamp with HT bypass for both of my systems. I use the Quicksilver Linestage in my family room. It’s great and I really like it. I also have a Prima Luna EVO 300 in my main system, which I love more for its main purpose as a stereo preamp. The Quicksilver is more convenient for HT because it stays powered off in bypass mode.

Yes, plenty.  Sonic Frontiers for one.  BAT.  I would guess the majority do 

Conrad Johnson all the way.  All of there units Have had theater bypass for many many years now. Michael

Wow....

Hearing that the Rogue RP’s have HT hard-wire bypass when turned off is a game changer for me. I’m definitely going to look into that! I’m still hooked on my old Anthem AVM50. Its analog path is no slouch, but I know it can be improved upon by a dedicated stereo pre.
