Tube preamp with balanced in/out and remote?

Hi,

I'm looking for a tube preamp with one (or more) balanced inputs, one balanced and one single ended pre-out (for sub), and a remote for volume. I want something a touch warm sounding and preferably around $1000. I know the BAT's have these features and have seen the Sonic Frontiers might but both are up there in price. Are there any good (or great) alternatives in lower price ranges?

Thanks,

Mike

I recommend: Audio Experience ( YS-Audio ) Balanced A2 full balanced line preamp .

It sell at AudiogoN for USD$988.
Full balanced design and full tubes design ( 12AX7 x4 , 5686WB x2 )with Remote Control .
Also, it has two pair XLR output / RCA output and one pair Processor input with Home Theater Bypass loop (HT/BP).
All input and output both with XLR and RCA.

Nick at Promethius is working on a remote version of his 2 box refence TVC. S/b in the $1k range, more or less.

You can probably score a Cary SLP-2002 for a few hundred more.

Thanks for the responses. I decided to bump my budget up and went with a BAT VK-5i. Hopefully it has the sound I like.
