Remote Preamp $1000 Used


Hope all had a good 4th. I am looking for suggestions to begin a search for a preamp with a remote. I am looking for a preowned unit less for than $1000 for a second system.

I will be using it with Audio Physic Step LEs, a Marantz 8 amp and a Sony 555ES. In addition, I will most likely be hooking up a dvd player and a new hdtv. I also need it to be able to control two amps as I will be picking up a relatively inexpensive second amp to run 3 sets of inwalls we have throughout the house. I do not need HT bypass as we are sticking with two channel. At present I am using an Audio Research LS 1 pre but, for the sake of flexibility and familial harmony need a pre with a remote.

Thanks much to all.

Check out the Placette Passive Line Stage. Three inputs and two outputs. Remote for volume and three input.
I think this covers all your needs. Check out the reviews. By the way, I do have one for sale here on AudioGon.
here are a couple of suggestions.

the electrocompient pre 4.6... very nice for a solid state pre. not bright or edg. just smooth, dynamic, and musical.

also the audio research ls-12 is one of "THE" most neutral pre's i have heard or owned.

if you want to play with tubes- the bat 3vki.

good luck,

mike
