New CJ preamp w/ remote that have old CJ sound?

I recently sold my CJ PV-11 preamp, and I miss it. It has been replaced with a highly regarded more neutral preamp. I miss the "colored sound" of the CJ. Are there any newer CJ preamps that will give me that similiar sound and have remote at the same time? I have read the current CT preamp are more neutral - like the preamp I have now, so that won't work.

Thanks!

CJ Premier 14 is the last high end one with the original house sound and a remote (really noisy relays (mechanical not from the speakers) when adjusting volume

try a s/h prem16. I real honey of a pre amp. It will be more neutral than your PV-11, but it is very musical.

or as cytocycle state a prem 14 wood be a good option as well.

me, personally I like the clicking sound of the remote - it makes individual volume steps easy

I had a PV-11 and wish I had kept it, for my second system. I replaced it with a Premier 16 LSII and have had no regrets, see if you can audition one. It is C-J sound but not quite as it was, still for me it works.
