I can't fathom the benefit of running out of the AVP to yet another preamp. You don't need any more gain, nor input switching. I'd think you'd either do something in lieu of the AVP or call it a day.
Well, another pre-amp & HT integration question...
I think I've managed to confuse myself. By adding a tube PA with a unity gain processor loop into my system I'll end up with the following signal path, right?
Digital Transport (Proceed PMDT) ---> DAC/HT Processor (Proceed AVP) ---> Tube Pre (TBD)---> Front 2-Channel Amp ---> Front R & L speakers
So even with a unity gain loop to bypass the PA when doing HT, won't I still have to futz around with both volume controls (AVP & PA) when listening normal 2-channel music through the tube pre-amp via the analog output of the AVP?
Thanks again,
Thomas
