Low cost simple 5.1 pre-amp no processing needed?


I have a great processor and fine system, and a new SACD,
But I don't have inputs for 5.1 into my existing sytem, and would like to experiment a bit with SACD, I need a pre-amp that will control 3 channels min, and 5 channels would be better, just an analogue pre-amp for either 3 or 5 is needed.

If I like it I'll step up so I don't want to put a ton of money into this.

I have plenty of amps just need a control for them.

The best deal going would be the Harman/Kardon Signature 2.0 - it *does* have processing, but you don't need to use it. Routinely sells for $350-400 here on the 'Gon...

I'll second the Audio Refinement Pre-5. Neutral to ever-so-slightly warm 5.1-channel preamp. Great build quality. But you'll have a difficult time connecting a processor and a SACD player to it, since it only has one set of 5.1 inputs.
