I would be interested in hearing what your impressions are after you have implemented it and listened for a while. As Elliott pointed out this violates the fundamental principle of introducing no extra functions in the signal path. I tried a high end manual switch box about 40 years ago… that had big negative impact on the sound. Be interested to hear if the technology has improved.
Looking for a tube preamp with remote control.
Although I am very happy with my modified (with Teflon caps) Conrad-Johnson PV 11 preamp, I need to replace it with a tube preamp with remote control due to my current lack of mobility.
I’m looking to spend no more than $3000. The preamp needs to have a phono.input.
I’m matching it with a Benchmark amplifier.
Any suggestions?

I've been really happy with rogue gear for 20+ years. RP-5 has all you're looking for and can be had for just around 3k as a demo. Like this! https://www.audioadvisor.com/mobile/prodinfo.asp?number=1RARP5 |
The Placette RVC is a very nice unit. Many years ago, I tried it in my system, but, I ended up buying their active linestage (unity gain buffer) because it sounded a bit more dynamic. But, you already have a nice linestage, so the remote volume control makes sense. Don't stint on the interconnects needed to put it into the loop. This level of gear warrants using really nice wiring. |
