rogue pre's have a ht bypass? hmmm - i had a 99 for a few months & it dint even have a tape-monitor, tho it *did* have tape outs...
other pre's that i know of that have ht bypass loops are made by bat, arc, vtl, linn. i'm sure there are more, this seems to be all the rage.
re: integrating a ht set-up into a 2-channel rig, obviously having the ht bypass loop is the most conwenient way, but if ya like yer non-ht-loop preamp, ewe can still do it w/yust a tape loop. hook-up will be the same, only difference is yule need to control the wolume of the two main stereo speakers independently of the center/surround speakers...
