Best sounding preamp under 2K?


I require remote operation and balanced design. Used market is okay. The two I'm considering are the BAT VK-5i and SF Line-3. Any others that come to mind? Does anyone know of a non-6922 based preamp that fits my criteria (price, remote, balanced)?

I've owned the 5i, 30SE, 30, 40, and 50SE. The Pass Aleph P is every bit as good as the 5i, but it is solid state. I haven't seen a used Line 3 in the $2k price range yet, so I don't see how it meets your criteria. Good luck!
