Preamp for Job 225

So I was wondering what some good preamp options are for the Job 225. I am considering passive or active but it has to have a remote with good volume control. I would prefer a passive one, but I am wondering what peoples experiences have been. I am consider the LD3 from Tortuga, AkustYk with remote option, CI PLC•1 MKII Remote Passive Line Controller, and the Emotiva XSP-1 Gen 2. If any one else has any suggestions or wants to sell me something I would appreciate the feedback.

Careful the amp has a low input impedance so some tube preamps will not be the best match.

How would you characterize the sound of your amp. Neutral, musical, bright? Knowing this would help with recommendations. Knowing what kind of music you listen to would help also......

have you considered the placette RVC or passive (if more inputs are required)? i've been enjoying one for a while now and find it to be a stellar performer - it replaced a $5k tube preamp. also they are fantastic folks to work with... customer support right up there with pass labs and atma-sphere.
