Thanks SO much for the thoughtful and concise reply richidoo. When I had the HK hooked up I did indeed use the pre-outs into the ATI and THOUGHT I heard a bit of degradation in the highs. Maybe not as much sparkle (now that's an audiophile term) but again the A/B system was not very easy to realy tell the difference.
Funny ting is I almost never liasten to TV through anything but the TV so not sure I even need a receiver. A good quality pre-amp probably makes the most sense but I know those don't come cheap. Perhaps a used one as you suggest. And deafcat it seems that indeed there is a difference in sound quality though like I said my TV and or theater needs are nil so i may unload the HK and look for a good pre-amp.
