Class A triode - on/off on remote?

There's really no point. Other things in the system have to be turned on too. The preamp has to be first. So no point in using a remote. If a preamp has it, its only because they could implement it, not because its actually practical.

Using a preamp in ht environment is a mess to deal with.  Manuf don’t have their act together.

keep tubes off when watching movies and have a on off feature on remote.

don’t need to waste tubes when not listening to the two channel system.

people want both high end stereo and ht that share mains, and to keep tubes off when not listening to stereo.

The Schiit Freya + allows its tubes to turn off when utilizing either the passive or FET settings, both remote switchable...lower gain for those options but the tubes get some rest...there ya go!

Thanks,
schitt Frey’s is only about $900. Seems very cheap but looks nice.

If I select passive input it can be used for ht bypass, and tubes are off?

pls clarify how ht use occurs with Freya, , thanks very much
