I have never had a tube pre-amp so I would like some input. I do not need a phono, but I would like a remote. I am looking for a tube pre-amp that has some warmth but is also accurate, the pre would be used with a sim audio w-3 or w-5 amp. I do like a "thick" or "dense" soundstage. i would buying from audiogon (used) and would like to spend a max of 1500 thank you in advance JCW
