Looking for tube preamp with remote volume ??

I would like to try a reasonable priced tube preamp to use with my Classe SS amp.
I'm open to new or used but I MUST have a remote control volume.
A phono board for LO MC cartridge would be a plus too.
I know my selection criterion severely limits the number of units available but can someone please make a suggestion?

Thanks!

C-j Premier Fourteen. There aren't lots around, but you'll find one if you're patient.

Almost bought one myself but it's short a few channels for my multichannel system.

$1,000 or less would be nice but up to $1,500 will work.

Audio Research LS 15 or 16. Nice clean sound, not overly euphonic like some others. Excellent customer support.

VTL 2.5 usually sells used for about $750. Remote is included and phono stage ought to be for that price. A lot of bang for the buck.
