Looking for a phono preamp that has volume control

features? budget?

I am a fan of both remote volume and remote balance, of any source, while in listening position.

great points from atmasphere

i would only add that phono stage gain is the most precious of all gains since it magnifies the original and smallest signal

so having more gain than you need at this critical point often introduces noise or distortion that can otherwise be avoided if gain were to be optimized to the cartridge output and the rest of system

to have a lot of excess gain at the phono stage, then to use a passive or other attenuator to reduce it down significantly is, imho, a very unproductive exercise

RM-4 Music Reference, they still have some NOS w volume controls 

Looks like I have a lot of homework to do to get the right combination. I thought the points that  charles1dad brought up were spot on. I don't really know how much gain my amps require or what my present cartridge puts out. So, I'll need to figure that out first and then start looking for a combination that meets the amps requirements. Thx everybody for your input.

That’s not true. Many phono preamps do not put out enough voltage to drive a power amp directly!

Read the whole post before saying "that’s not true"

That’s why I said it has to have 68db of gain or higher!!!!!! And many do these days!
