Preamp with remote under $1000


Hi,
I am looking for a preamp with a remote for my second system. I would prefer tube but solid state would be OK. I would like to spend around $750 but can go to around $1000. I am going to use it with a solid state amp and Alon II speakers. Any advice?

Pal- You could also go with a BAT VK3i. Also exceptional support. Should be right at the top of your range, but make sure you get one with remote already installed, as it is a factory option. Can be added later but at substantial cost.
If you're patient, you can pick up a VTL 2.5 for about $750, used. Incredible bang for the buck.
I'll second the VTL 2.5, great preamp for the money. I'm very pleased with the performance and the phono section is excellent.
Plan to spend around $1000.00 if you need a phono section.

Anthem Pre-1, this is a great tube pre-amp for the $. I owned one for about a year. You can still find them new at some audio shops for arond $600.00 or so.
