Need a good preamp w remote

Current system is a McIntosh MC250 upgraded by Terry DeWitt, a modified Acurus  RLll, Sony Sacd 5400 ES, Marantz ND8006, Ohm Walsh 2 and Kef R300.  Happy with my sound mostly but bad back has me needing a remote contol preamp. Love Mac but not sure I can swing new and with no techs near for 3000 miles probably  looking at other brands. Would love tube but ss is ok. Figure $2000 -2500 tops. Thinking Rogue, Parasound, who else? Anyone with this amp have experience in the kind of situation? Thanks for all feedback.
