What Pre/Pro do you recommend?

I know the Ayre AX 7e I'm selling has pass through and I think their pre's do also. You can always find a good one on AG. If you just go to a few of the well known manufacturer sites they will put it in their info.

I know that many are in love with the Marantz or NAD's of the world and I own both brands and have for years, however not for my 2 channel listening. they just aren't made for the highest quality sound and that's what you said you are after.

I just spent a ton of money on a new 2 channel system and my friends who listen to it feel that it sounds much better than their own multi channel systems and they spent even more than I did. The more things you add to a component the more difficult and expensive it is to implement. I think I said that correctly.

Someone must have spiked my froot loops. How I missed recommending the Ayre K-5 is beyond belief.

Thanks Z, I was in shock when I didn't see you mention it. Personally with what a used one is going for, I think it's the best bet for what he wants to do. K-5xe fits everything he's looking for, plus to many of us, it sounds incredible and is a very serious component.

Wow, how convenient, maybe krelldog can buy the Ayre you're trying to sell on this thread.

Yea, or maybe they can find something else they like that they can hear first. I'll have no problems selling the the Ayre once I get serious about doing so.
Or maybe better Krelldog can just go get a great pass through preamp as that's where his head seems to be at.

Runnin, sorry if I ruffled your feathers. I don't really have a filter and just post on here for fun. When I'm ready I'll buy an ad, promise.
