Whats the tubiest sounding preap?

Im looking for a very tubie sounding pre.
An open design would be nice and remote.
Price-$500-$800 used.
I know its a tall order but please offer some leads.I could do without the open design and remote if need be.

Your system listing notes that it is remote controlled -w- added Auricaps. Why not go with softer sounding caps (Jensen PIO's, or other vintage PIO's) and some tube rolling? Seem to recall that it used obscure signal tubes though.

It sounds pretty tubie especially with the Telefunkens. Wicked phono section too. Oh yea, its for sale.
