Preamp match for Mccormack DNA-125


I have a McCormack DNA-125 driving Gallo Reference 3.1's. I'm going to be sending off my DNA-125 for the Silver or Gold update. I'm looking for a used preamp in the $1-2k price range, preferably tube, with remote and possible A/V output. Any recommendations?

A Threshold FET1, about 20 year old would be worth considering. Priced at around 2000$ when new, they usually go for up to 500-600$ and there is an auction on eBay right now for a nice MkII unit from Australia (at least judging by the pics). I own one that I bought 3 months ago for 220$ and I am delighted by the sound, includes an truly excellent adjustable phono stage (MM&MC). Add to that the fact it is a Nelson Pass design beautifully put together like some instrument-grade lab hardware, what more could you want? A remote control...

Any Conrad-Johnson preamps in his price range that would work well with this or other McCormack amps?
I just wanted to thank everyone for the great advice given in this thread. In the end I chose the VAC Standard LE and I'm very glad I did. The synergy with my DNA-125 is better than I expected. This combo is just magical. The VAC bettered my highly modded Melos SHA Gold Reference(Auricaps, Blackgates, Holcos) in every way. Next step is sending the STD LE in to Kevin Hayes for his MKII upgrade and the amp to SMC for an upgrade.
