Replacing ARC SP-12

Want to replace my SP-12 with a new Pre that has remote.
Have had the SP-12 and D-90 amp for many years and now using them to play digital files off my PC through a Music Streamer 2.

Great sound but would really like a Pre with remote (getting lazy I guess).

I was hoping to keep it around $1000 figuring I can get $400-500 for the SP-12 and kick in another $500 or so.

Really like ARC gear but rather pricey to get a Pre w/remote so I'm looking for alternatives that nicely match the tube D-90.

Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Appreciate the responses and the fact that you all like ARC and wouldn't change. The other item I failed to mention is that since the SP-12 does not have a line output, I've been using a split connector to use my Carver Subwoofer. Not really a big deal but thought I'd go for a remote and line-out to make it correct.

From what I'm reading though, it sounds like getting a separate remote would be the best or step up to more $$$ with a different ARC pre.
