Home Amp/Preamp Asylum

RE: Help out a Reviewer - Adding Home Theater to 2 Channel System

Actually, the HT AVRs/prepros do not have any "bypass" inputs at all. They may have analog inputs which are not digitized but are volume-controlled to the analog outputs.

OTOH, there are many analog preamplifiers that have an "HT-bypass" function. See link below.

The reason is that, generally, dedicated analog stereo buffs do not want to run their highest quality signals through an AVR/prepro at all. They do, however, often want to send the front L/R signals from their AVRs through the analog stereo preamp in order to maximize sound quality for the front channels and to minimize cable swapping operations.
