Best Passive Pre-amp with remote??

Lmathais,
You can check out Audio Synthesis of UK "Passion Ultimate" remote passive. I have been using the ProPassion passive,i.e. single-input/single-otput but dual mono construction for the past 6 years and I can tell you that I am yet to come across a better, more accurate and very well build quality unit anywhere. The passive comes with all bulk-foil vishays (i mean each & every resistor) + WBT connectors and pure silver wiring. You can visit their website: www.audiosynthesis.co.uk and Dave Heaton is always a wonderful person to deal with. Most helpful and certainly highly recommended.

Great suggestions so far thanks for the help.

Just so you guys know,my gear is as follows

Sim W-5 Amp
Metronome CD-1V Cd player with tube output
Talon audio peregrine speakers

You can find these used in excellent condition for approx $700 or so. I have one (and I'm keeping it!) but passive mode is not suitable for my setup... sounds better in active mode for me but others have reported outstanding passive mode performance with this modest Stereophile Class A rated preamp. My setup:

Cary 306/200 24/192 CD Player
Adcom GFP-750 or Audio Research LS16 preamps
Conrad-Johnson Premier 11 a tube amp
Thiel CS 1.5 loud speakers.

Good luck!
