Tube Preamp, uses 6sn7/6sl7. With or Without Phono; With or Without Remote Volume,

I have the above mentioned ls100 from ModWright and can say it's a fantastic preamp. I had a don Sachs and prefer this. 

Get a Backert Labs and be done.

Budget:

$5,000 with phono

$3,500 without phono (he found a phono stage he likes, waiting)

I'm waiting a bit longer before I thank you all for responding!

Pindac, I don’t understand why you cannot name the guru of whom you speak. Surely he does not do business in anonymity. But is it Thomas Meyer?
