Thank you all for the responses so far.
I have considered upgrading the preamp to a 2-ch preamp with HT bypass, but the Denon prepro actually has a very clean preamp. While this may be my 2nd weakest link, I have thusfar assumed my current phono preamp is the weakest link.
Now, if I found a 2-ch preamp with HT bypass and a very good phono preamp, that would be an option.
But, at this point, I don't want to by any "compromise" pieces. I want to buy something now that I can be with happy for several years.
So far there have been some good suggestions on phono preamps. Where would the Pass Ono (used), compare to the current suggestions?
Are there any Preamp with included phono stage, and HT bypass, that campare with the EAR or Pass for example, in the $1000-$1800 range?
