Thanks John The Citation 7.0 is a fabulous analog preamp but is no longer in production (alas). Actually it is a multichannel analog preamp (no DD/DTS) that will sound better than most of the high priced pre/pros out there now with surround music. It works great as a 2 channel preamp via its bypass setting. I believe one is available now at Audiogon for $400.

It is a fantastic tube 2ch preamp with by pass. Gary Daddy Freddy 04-06-07, 01:24 PM Thanks for yalls thoughts, so....if i wanted to add video -matching 1 of these units to a DVO vp30 would be nice? Am I seeing this right...would I be getting the best of both worlds...great 2 channel along with video connections? arjun_m28 04-06-07, 04:57 PM All Conrad Johnson preamps have hometheater bypass and sound heavenly in two channel stereo (better than any SS stereo pre, IMHO). The PV14L comes to mind and one is on sale on A'gon for $895.

You'll have to decide solid state vs tube vs passive yourself. whoaru99 05-29-07, 12:51 PM Thread is a little dusty, but... Proceed PRE has a HT bypass loop.
