Sorry for jumping in here late, but that's exactly what I'm waiting for. An audiophile grade ANALOG multi-channel preamp (with full analog bass management of course). I have a listening room separate from our home theater. It's only used for listening to music. I recently got the Pioneer DV-45a and have a few DVD-A and SACD titles. I want to try multichannel listening but don't need or want all the Digital gimgracks on the new pre-pros.
