Class A triode - on/off on remote?
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 
Class A triode - on/off on remote?
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 wan... 
YouTube video music
Lots of confusion herein.  Simply stated, sound quality from youtube music vids  is quite impressive when streamed thru Apple TV.  Very comparable to streaming thru a nucleus using qobuz with both being hooked into a high end hifi system.speaks to... 
Class A triode - on/off on remote?
Seems this issue is very complex.  Wouldn’t mind not having on off on remote if preamp would allow a ht signal to pass thru preamp while in standby with tubes off.  One high end preamp does this, modwright but they don’t have on off on remote.prea... 
Connecting a DAC directly to an amp?
For the 20 mins a week I listen to stereo I want that 20 mins to sound extremely good and to be memorable. There should be no price tag to great when it comes to being successful in finding an extremely grate sounding preamp.

And then, I hope to be inspired by someone else. 
Connecting a DAC directly to an amp?
These switches look really good and credible. Don’t look like they can be controlled via remote.so if I only stream, need for a preamp seems totally unnecessary if using a switch.  Vast complexity and expense and value and need for a preamp has ne... 
Connecting a DAC directly to an amp?
Looking at a modwright ls300 tube preamp.  Hard to plug dac directly into amp when I have an avr.  Only use for streaming.tube preamp allows ease of functionality between avr and preamp. 
SQ impact from a tube preamp after signal leaving an AVR?
So the merits of higher priced tube preamps may be in doubt.  The absurdity of buying overpriced components.  Yet we do it.   
Connecting a DAC directly to an amp?
This is getting sooo damn complex for my tiny mind.  Very very and maybe toooo techie 
Any high end preamps out there where tubes off while HT in use?
Wait an hour for tubes to sound good? Seems absolutely horrifying and super inconvenient, and this is ok to audiophile community? 
So you have a great hi end stereo preamp, but
You hurt my feelings.  Time for some uplifting Barry Manilow youtube vids from my amazing ht system. 
Hi end tube preamps, it’s all about functionality!!
There is a important market for stereo listening at a high quality level and home theater in a combined system.‘all’ it takes is passing a signal thru the preamp painlessly to allow sharing of mains between stereo and home theatre.  Options, sadly... 
So you have a great hi end stereo preamp, but
Problem here is that you can’t achieve a high level of stereo SQ when stereo preamps and avr’s are in same system without a lot of addl operating costs and inconvenience.  These two worlds don’t like to share main speakers.  The world is evolving ... 
So you have a great hi end stereo preamp, but
So why don’t avr and stereo worlds get along?don’t play together well.the world is changing. People who have avr’s have the capacity to appreciate stereo music.
