Small Preamplifier choices?

Ive been searching for a small, like really small pre amp to use with my two new Audiosource amps that power my 10 y/o Paradigm towers at my vacation home. I want to ditch the receiver on the bar because its too big, old, and eventually liquid is going to get spilled on it. Im also doing this to idiot proof the sound system because Im sick of having to constantly re-tweak the overly complicated/ overkill A/V Sony receiver from family members randomly pushing buttons to hear the iPod or TV input they are looking for (even though they are plainly labeled).

So far, I only have found a brand called TCC and Sumiko's Pro-Ject Pre box. The TCC is in the right price but ugly, and the Sumiko (which fits the bill beautifully) costs fricken $350!

I just want to a small preamp in that size range that isnt rediculously overpriced and has at leasts two inputs.

Any ideas?

Please help good people of Audiogon!

Best Regards,

P.S. The set up I am aiming for is the low profile Audiosource amps with equalizer under the bar (L shaped bar has only a 12" depth), out of the way with a small preamp mounted about a foot above the bar with an iPod dock on top.
