Home theater pass-through unnecessary?
.I'm old and forgetful. The passthrough is the only option for me. I did it the other input way and forgot a few times with disatrous results. I knew I had to get a pre with a passthrough. For me, it was worth the extra dough.. 
Home theater pass-through unnecessary?
