Getting that itch for another upgrade. It's either a 2 channel pre with ht bypass or a sub. I don't have the cash right now for a sub upgrade so I'm thinking it's going to be a pre.

Budget is around $350 so probably going to have to be used. Is there anything decent for that price?

Like I said it has to have ht bypass.

Thanks

    If you can find a Parasound 2100, grab that. Has everything your wanting and you can get them on the used market for a little more than your wanting to spend. Solid upgrade. I`m happy with mine.

    Definitely been looking for that Parasound. Haven't seen too many up for sale. Are there any other options out there?

    The Adcom GFP-750 is another option (highly regarded around here) but you'll most likely find it more scarce and a bit more money.

    Not too many Pre's out there with HT bypass built in for a low price.

    The Dared, for under a nickel, it's about as good a bang for your buck as your going to find. Used, maybe 350.
