After 45 years as a stereophile there are only a handful of preamps on my short list. And at the top of the list is Ken Stevens CAT SL1. His all tube with outboard power supply has the features you are looking for and be had 7995 line stage only or 9995 with an incredible phono section. I hope this helps!
Preamp... Solid State or Tube
I am looking for 2-ch preamp that must have HT bypass option to mate with my existing HT processor.
My budget is 10K for this upgrade. Couple of preamps comes to mind but I have no experience with these components.
Ayre KX-5 Twenty
Aesthetix Calypso
My system consist of following components,
Speakers - B&W 800D2
Source - Aurender N10, Modwright Elyse DAC, Raysonic CD-128
Amps - Modwright KWA150SE (Pair of them being used in bridge mode)
Processor - Krell 707
Cables - Verastarr Grand Illusion Statement and Signature series
Any recommendations will be highly appreciated.
