Preamp Help
The Parasound Zpre3 and P6 have remote control that allow you adjust treble and Bass The P6 is probably a good preamp in your price range. Good tube preamps are going to cost more than that and will have few features.   
I don't want to beat a dead horse but I'm bugged.
Do you need to control what you want to hear? Or  are you open to discussion? Please keep posting. I quit reading some pages back, pretty sure everyone else has also. I appreciate all your input but you lost your audience I think.   
Preamp Help
I’m looking for a Preamp that has a remote that will allow me to adjust the Treble and Bass I don’t think the OP meant Treble and Bass controls on the remote! If he is you are correct , there just ain't no such thing! That's what I said.      
Preamp Help
I don't know of any preamp that has remote bass/treble control. Maybe a Mac?   
Balanced versus single ended
Could this possibly be related to the increased gain(voltage)? Most likely but everything makes a difference, so swapping cables by itself can make it sound different but trust me there are plenty of very top tier systems that are running singl...

Use or sell/replace Oppo UDP-203?

Grounding a Powered Subwoofer Causes Volume Increase
I have no clue but if you are adding grounds to something that doesn't require a ground, I'm thinking you should know the answer to that question. I don't know what is going on but something is and that may be important. Call the sub company and a...

Balanced versus single ended
There is no drawback from running single ended unless you have a noisy and/or a long run.   
Maggie LRS amping question
It is one of the only speakers I can think of that I have never read anything but glowing reviews. Don’t read the ASR test review.     I just installed a pair of LRS driven by a pair high-current 800-watt Parasound JC 1 monoblocks, and augm... 
Use or sell/replace Oppo UDP-203?
I don't think physical media will ever entirely die.  And I'm not convinced the Internet is as perfectly stable as we all seem to assume.  I still spin discs. I only have to get up once an hour to change a disc. My music is always available and... 
An older audiophiles new equipment
You are lucky, my friend, I lost all my hearing in one ear and I have a 100-thousand-dollar cochlear implant that sounds like a busted transistor radio. My other ear is good and I listen in a near mono stereo setup. Be thankful for the hearing you... 
Buying New TV Need A Soundbar Recommendation
I have a number of Samsung cheap soundbars, with and without subwoofers. They all work fine and pair to the TV remote very easily. More than good enough. When I run my bigger music system, I'm always getting up because it sounds like a truck is dr...
