best ss preamp w/ remote used under 1000

Look into the Morrisin Audio ELAD.I dont know if has remote.If anyone can add pls do.

Ginntonic: The Sony tae-9000es, it also has the coolest lcd remote you could ever want. I bought one for the same reason you are under $1000. I have seen them on audiogon for $800-$1000. There is also one heck-of-a update with a cd and another remote direct from Sony for $160. So if you could buy one on audiogon for $840. plus the $160. update, you would be at your $1K limit and I don't think you will find a better catch. Good Luck, and remember to have fun.

Good call on the Sony ta-e9000es. I owned one for two years then dumped it here for $800.00 with the 2.1 upgraded software about a month ago. I still miss the touch screen remote. Can't think of a nicer pre in that price range.

If probably won't go much under $1000, it might go slightly over $1000, however you can get the Conrad Johnson PFR. Stereophile Class A.

Could go BAT Vk3i if you pumped up the end price.Why not a used Adcom GFP 750 as opposed to a surround one?Rave reviews from Fi and Stereophile.CJPV12 if we get back to the tube thing.Will improve the mids of that nice amp you have.But your B&W's are voiced sweet so you may not want it but I would even if the bass softens up a bit.
