I don’t understand your setup.
You have a stereo integrated amp?You have a stereo power amp. and a pre amp. ( 2 units ) ?
A HT bypass , turn off the pre amp. section of the integrated amp . So only pre amp section of the HT processor is used with only the power amp. section of the integrated amp.
This is for movies.
When HT bypass is not in use, the integrated plays highend sources: turn table , streamer, tuner, CD player, R2R,
These sources sound ( stereo ) much better through the integrated amp. than through the HT processor.
This is for music.
The worst setup is having the pre amp. of the integrated amp. ´´on ´´
( no HT bypass activated ) at the same time of the HT Processor ´´ on ´´. That way , there are two ´´pre amps ´´ that color the sound.Just my two cents .
