Best tube preamp with remote under $2000 used

I have a Mapletree 2 SE ACE, refurbished Hitachi HMA 7500 - best and first MOSFET from the 70s, NHT Classic 3s in a 12 X 14 x 8 ft room and sound is great but need remote as its in my office at work.
Also need 2 sets off outputs as I may step up to Classic 4s and biamp. (Found another HMA 7500)
Prefer the old CJ sound- not the new lean and mean - so liquid, warm preferred over analytical.
The new Quicksilver with remote would be ideal but only 1 pair of outputs and Mini Max has no remote.
I guess if I could find a used CJ Premier 14, that would do- but there aren't any. Any other suggestions.?

Thanks for your help.

For the record, the only reason I'm selling the Maple Tree is the lack of remote - it has everything else.

Just found a Jolida Fusion with Mk 2 upgrades, retailed for $2200 which I found used at a huge reduction, much less than the Avant, , so bought it. EE avant was top of my list till I found this bargain.
Will let you know!! Thank you for all your help.

I presume you've listened to both, Schubert?

Maybe the Mk 2 sounds better than the basic fusion. I'll certainly let you know how the Mk 2 sounds, Strateahed

I too am anxious to hear if you actually heard he Fusion Level 2 upgrade.
Walter doesn't usually hype. He's pretty blunt.
