I'd like to integrate a separate preamp into my HT system for music only. My Outlaw A/V 1050 is used as a pre/processor into a B&K ST1400MKII. I know you can run the pre-outs of the A/V into an ACTIVE preamp which then goes into the amp allowing you to use the Receiver for HT and the preamp for music. Could you also do this with a passive preamp?
Follow Ups:
I've done it with my Placette Audio 3-input passive linestage. I just have to remember to turn the volume down before switching to another input. BUT.... Placette Audio will configure one of the inputs strictly as a theater bypass if you ask them to prior to placing your order with them.
I use a placette passive pre in my system as well, and turn the volume up for the HT input. I didn't want to lose an input, so I asked Guy if I could get another one for an HT bypass. He said they can turn one of the 2 outputs into an HT bypass input. That sounds like a good option for most people (unless you need the other output for a sub).Neil
It's a great way to have the best of both worlds, The F.T. audio is a good passive at a good price. I have my system set up this way, sunfire theatergrand pre/pro and the bent 102.
I'm looking at the same type upgrade, debating whether to go with an active tube preamp or a passive TVC, to add to my SS multichannel preamp.Here's a post at the Bent Audio Forum addressing what you are asking. Appears that you can do it your way or actually add a HT bypass in the passive chassis.
I have been running the FT Audio Passive with HT for several years. I use one input on the passive for the fronts from the HT processor. All you have to do is remember to turn down the volume on the passive when you are finished.
That's the scary part of what JC of Bent Audio states in the above posted forum:"Because of this my prefered connection with a HT processor is to just run it to an input on the TX102 pre-amp and then turn the level up to max volume when using the HT processor."
Sooner or later, I would forget to turn it back down.....
I am in the habit of switching the input and turning the volume down when I am finished watching a movie. As long as you turn everything off at the end of watching it should never be a problem.
