This preamp I believe should become available shortly. I'm referring to the newclassic 2100 preamp.

http://www.parasound.com/new.php

It has the HT passthrough and the sub hookup as well all at a reasonable price...as soon as it hits A'gon. ;)

I'm not waiting on this or anything but just a consideration if anyone has any feedback before it's release.

Speakers are first up though! The Linbrook Signature Monitors are looking like a bargain on A'gon now.

    Oooh, that JC-2 looks beautiful! But with an MSRP $4000, it will a long time before I get on of those (used of course)
    For rig details, see my profile. Nothing here anymore...

    looks like that classic preamp can be in the same value and vein as there PHP850, which was a damn good 2 channel preamp. if this is as good as the 850, but with bypass (and what seems to be more inputs) this is a product with some promise

    Oh DAMN! The JC2 caught my eye too; I expect it would match splendidly with the JC1's I'll have soon ;)

    My only complaint on the looks - that chassis looks wonderful on the simple JC1/A21 amps, but it's a bit aesthetically unbalanced with all those holes & knobs for the preamp version, IMO. I can be that picky at $4K MSRP, right? :D It does have separate L/R gain controls, and what looks like a remote sensor, which makes me very happy.

    Eh, I'll probably end up doing the digital attenuation thing for a while to save some $$$.
