On the hunt for a 2-channel preamp with home theater bypass and a good phono stage. Or a A/V Pre-pro with good 2-channel sound. Or some other way to have my 2-channel cake and eat the 7.1 too.

Thanks, it's a pleasure to join a new & interesting audio site.

Audiophilia is an addiction...feed it well & it will treat you well. Ignore it & withdrawal is psyche threatening!

Today a customer and I hooked up a set of Tannoy Autograph Mini's to a JoLida FX 10 (upgraded). The source was a modified Music Hall 25.2, and wire was Analysis Plus Oval. Nothing special, right? The sound blew us away-musical purely defined, big stage with depth, and solidity of the notes and voices. Everything you want in a system. Diana Krall was in the room, her band wrapped around and behind her. Plus her voice was so suductive and sexy. LOVE Tubes. It is one of the best systems in our showroom-and all by accident (never thought of using them together). The rest of the stuff we have is top notch, but what a great system.
