BAT or Lamm

I am thinking of changing my preamp, I have a Mcintosh c42 and am thinking of a Lamm L1 or a BAT VK50. I already have a piece of BAT, VKP-5 phono stage, my amp is a Mcintosh mc352 speakers are JM lab mezzo utopia`s. I am moving out of a solid state system into tubes, but can only do it a peice at a time so I thought I would do the preamp first.Any thoughts? David

Some BAT models you can get a remote, I don't think that is an option on the Lamm. Also some of the Lamm models have discrete channels including seperate left and right volume knobs.

For some people this is the deciding factor.

That is why I have a Placette Active Preamp, because it turns off the power to the remote after each adjustment to prevent interference... and it can't say enough good things about how percise the volume is... I can get that little 2% more, that I could never dial in with my Audible Illusions or any preamp for that matter.

This was one of the biggest improvement to my audio system which is not posted up yet.. but soon since I want it to actually have pictures like my video system.
