recommend a simple but hi-quality active pre-amp?


Hi All,
I've got a 2-channel system with only a CD player feeding my tube amps. Can you recommend a good/excellent quality active pre-amp with NO bells and whistles? No features needed....just the CD into the amps.
Thanks and happy listening!

Budget is $1000 +/- and for the same money, I'd rather have higher quality than a remote....but of course, BOTH would be nice! Thanks!
For just over $1K you should be able to find a Plinius CD-LAD. I don't think you could do any better for that money.
