there is a thread further down I think about integrating HT and stereo with a couple of expensive recs.
Basic issue is that separating processor and preamp for stereo leaves your options open for optimizing both and not compromising. If you get picky about stereo, the separate preamps allows you to upgrade only what you need to.
FYI I use a passive preamp, FT Audio ($500), and it sounds great, and it has support from other descriminating users of very expensive systems. Of course the key is your amp's ability to take the signal directly from your cdp (with about a 3db loss). For details you can email the guys at FT audio or also Placette, which makes the next step up quality passive (at $1400 and it has remote).
