Accuphase preamps C275, or the C275V have every feature that you mentioned (except for tubes of course) and several other nifty control features as well. $10K list I got mine for about half price including the versatile integral phono stage. Tube-rush noise was not on my list of desirable sonics either Kurt.
Best pre-amp with built-in phono stage under 10K?
There seem to be a renaissance in this area. Among others, EAR has the 912 and Cary has the SLP-05. Both mentioned in TAS a few months ago but little info on them. I have been reading up on the Steelhead also which has one input and more can be added using the "switcher."
I need about 5 inputs. I am looking for something for my Art Audio PX-25 and I am wondering if there is something that is pretty much state of the art without going to separates. Remote control and high quality mc input a must, tubes would be preferred, mono and phase switching and balanced inputs close behind.
