A BAT VK3i (and I assume other BAT pre-amps) have a volume setting called Unity Gain, which is essentially a HT throughput. The volume control is effectively removed from the circuit.
As a two channel audio only pre-amp, the BAT line is excellent and the VK-3i can be had at truly bargain prices on a'gon.
