a good pre amp with remote usd6000 or less used


any good suggestion for a pre amp, SS or Tube..etc..does not matter , but with a remote control, I have 4 sets of AMP
Pass labs XA160, Krell 450MCX, Cello Performance II, Classic 30
ideally this Pre Amp will have XLR, as my active crossover are XLR only

mainly i listen to my B&W Matrix 800

i heard the Ref3 , but never for the 326s
and some suggested me Nagra PLL
i shall take a chance to hear the 326s...thx
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?
Bel Canto Pre 2/ Herron VTSP 3a/Audio Research REF 5. /Cary SLP-05

really. a lot of suggestion..
my friend on vacation for 2 weeks..he pass me his Mark Levinson for 2 weeks.., 8k...is a lot of $ for a preamp

ref3 seem hold his value good, seem no harm to try

6000 may be able to get a x-20 , i never really heard any modwright..wondering how;s it sounded?
mitch4t...tell me more.for what area ref 3 outclass the x0.2

Bel canto pre 2..i take a look now, seem no harm to have one more if it is less than $1000
more than one person suggest VAC to me and some XP-20, however why..not much person suggest me a krell ? why not a krell ..since ovr my budget..or indeed aveage ?
i use my matisse reference tube pre amp for so many yr, and sold all my cello suite.. and got a Linn CD12 24bits (not too bad in the area of resolution even compared with some players today, and indeed musical)

cello is excellent, not exactly quiet for today standard, strength : the layering of sound stage...really quite amazing
wondering...does the VK52 wroth the extra .as i can afford upto a used unit of VK52SE
