Good/great preamp with ht pass through? Thoughts?

Hello thanks for your thoughts...

I have been in the market for a preamp that also has a pass though (gainless) switch for my hometheatre system. I have looked at the VTL preamps...Both the 2.5 and 5.5 have this feature. I am interested in almost anything, and a list if anyone has one would be nice. Trying to find some new reading material.

Thanks for your time.

Do a search. Asked and answered already. My nomination: any of the Sonic Frontiers Line series.

The Aesthetix Calypso has pass throughs that can be assigned to any input. It is also one of the best sounding preamps available.

I'm using a Cary SLP-2002 that has this feature and I love it. I also considered the VTL 2.5 before purchasing the Cary though I was not able to audition either beforehand. Both looked like great units and to be honest I don't remember why I chose the Cary over the VTL but I've been happy with my Cary.
