Preamp/Integrated with Loudness button

Dear All,

Can you please recommend a high quality,  modern, in production, preamp or integrated amp with loudness button? The only such products I know are Luxman L-595ASE and Luxman LX-380.
Though L595 got everything I’m looking for, it’s bit out of my budget. Not having a remote is a deal breaker for LX-380. So here we go. Any other product you want to recommend ? Thanks

Luxman has the best sounding tone controls I know of. 

I'd recommend Parasound as very fully featured in the tone/subwoofer control department, but I find their controls veil the sound.

How about a Schiit Loki?

Mcintosh has a loudness control 0 - 100%.

AVM has tone controls built into their preamps that you can manage from the remote but not the classic "loudness" button.

Thanks everyone for your suggestions. I have a B&K PT5 preamp which has ‘Loudness’ button & found it extremely useful for certain poorly recorded songs.

@gestalt, yes the ‘Loudness’ button should be on remote as well. I checked the current models of Luxman but couldn’t find any of their integrated amps, except the ones I mentioned, got this feature.

All of the current Luxman’s have the Loudness feature on the remote, the unit itself only has the Loudness light/indicator to show on/off if you hit the button on the remote
