Re: 2 channel preamp will give you what you are looking for

Hi, from advice here I use my pre outs from my Yamaha RX-V2095 to feed into my Onkyo Pre-amp. My Arcam CD player is running through the preamp and not the Yamaha. I found that the receiver was terrible for music and did H/T pretty good. I use the video 2 input input and and it's run "direct". I set the volume at the 12 O clock position on the Preamp when watching DVD's and use the volume on my Yammie, just be carefull when you switch over to cd on the preamp that the volume is turned down. There is no dicernable distortion I'm hearing. Plus it will relieve the Yamaha from having to power the front two channels possibly increasing headroom. I don't like to run my sub so it's out as well but it can be used by setting the Yamaha to the cd input, just run the coaxial or toslink into the cd input on the receiver and adjust the volume if you want extra bass. Since my sub doesn't do music well I leave it off. I found that the Onkyo preamp did a much better job than my receiver! My 2 channel inputs are in the pre-amp and the DVD runs into the Yamaha. Good luck! I was really surprised by the difference this made. When I did this last month someone stated maybe this should be put in the FAQ section so people could have a reference on how to do it.
Peace!
