Need a good preamp w remote

Current system is a McIntosh MC250 upgraded by Terry DeWitt, a modified Acurus  RLll, Sony Sacd 5400 ES, Marantz ND8006, Ohm Walsh 2 and Kef R300.  Happy with my sound mostly but bad back has me needing a remote contol preamp. Love Mac but not sure I can swing new and with no techs near for 3000 miles probably  looking at other brands. Would love tube but ss is ok. Figure $2000 -2500 tops. Thinking Rogue, Parasound, who else? Anyone with this amp have experience in the kind of situation? Thanks for all feedback.

You can get a new Don Sachs SP14 tube pre with all the upgrades for around $2500 new, and Don offers a return policy so you can try it in your system before fully committing. Best of luck.

I bought a factory rebuilt SWL 9.0 Line Stage from Dan Wright, with upgraded power supply, new tube board, and new MWS caps, and yes, it does have remote volume control.

It sounds incredibly good, and for $1400, was a bargain. Give him a call.

Dan
