I have been looking for a nice 2 channel preamp with home theater bypass to put into my system. I have found this for 150 shipped to my door. Is this a good deal. Is it worth the money?

    I don't know much about Arcam, but $150 for any decent pre with HT bypass i would say is a fairly good deal.
