2 Channel Pass Through for Home Theater

I would like to upgrade my 2 channel listening in my home theater room. Is there a way to hook up a class A audiophile preamp and processor to my home theater system so that I can get better sound when playing CDs? Any recommendations on Pre-amps and processors that are truly amazing. (I like tubes) How about the Audio Research Ref 1 or 2 with a DCS processor? Any help would be appreciated. Some of my current components: Proceed AVP processor Proceed PMDT transport 6 Bel (Brown Electronic Labs) Amps Audio Physic speaker system all around (Virgos, Celcius center and luna Subwoofer)

I know that the ARC LS-25 and REF2 both have this function available. I own the LS-25 and love it. If you integrate with a automated HT, the ownly downfall is the logic of the controller, they do not have descrete selection. With a little extra programming, this will work out.... Please e-mail me for details. I use my LS-25 with my audio and HT and my programming references are to the Phillips Pronto.

The Conrad Johnson Premier 14LS Tube Preamp has theater processor loops. So does the solid state PFR.

Have to agree with j_k. I also use a ARC LS25. Pristine & impecable sonics (slight lack of harmonic decay as in RF1). This was a discontinued model & purch. nex for little >$2k. I use the ls25 with a Music Reference RM200 tube amp by Roger Modjesky. Cables are Straightwire's flagship (Crescendo) No surround processor on the market surpassas this pre for 2-channel playback that I know of.
