Entry level tube pre with pass thru and remote?

Hi,
Still trying to learn here, but can I please get a direction to look as far as:

1) Quality and Sound ofcourse

2) Pass thru for dual use as 2 channel and Home Theater, and remote control

3) Entry level price, nothing too fancy, just about the sound.
I have no idea who's product to look at or models, please give me some direction! and thanks all...
P.S. this is a slow learning process for me, not jumping into this overnight.
