a good pre amp with remote usd6000 or less used

hey..the 326s seem to be around 7000, wondering how;s that compared to the No. 32?

how's about the pass X0.2? i have seem some only at 3500.. Vs the 326 Vs the REf 3?

I've been struggling with the same question for years! I go from SS to tube,balanced to single ended,digital display(convenient user interface)to simple controls(no display).I've used a BAT 50 SE,Consonance Cyber 50 and Cyber 222,Sonic Frontiers Pre 1 SE,Conrad Johnson Premier 17&18 LS, and Muse Model 3 to name a few.

At this time I seem to have settled on the Bel Canto Pre 2 and a Rogue 99 Magnum.They have different strengths,and I go back and forth between the two.The Bel Canto is very quiet,provides balanced ins and outs,and has the best user interface I have encountered.It is very musical and stays "out of the way." The Rogue is marvelously dynamic(perhaps even powerful).

Good luck in your quest.

I'm looking too. I have a Pass X350.5 and no preamp. I'm twirling around the Pass XP-20, Bent Audio Tap X possibly for a passive, or even the new Modwright LS100.

I had a Cary SLP-05 but sold it. Thought I could live without it. A foolish mistake I think.

Ayre should be on your list
