Need advice on CJ preamps


I currently have a conrad-johnson classic SE preamp. I am very happy with the sound. However, the lack of remote is a major problem for me. I have no other experience with CJ preamps so I would appreciate some advice from people with more ownership experience.

I want to upgrade to a CJ preamp that has a remote. I can go as high as $2400 used. I'm looking for basically the same rich sound this clasic SE preamp has but with a remote. If I could pay to just add remote capability to this preamp I would gladly do it, but that is not possible so I must upgrade. Which CJ preamp?

One other option is to save up for a new ET3 SE, but it's currently out of my price range.

Thanks for any advice! : )

I agree with Chuck but the Premier 16LS II will set you back another $1,000 or so. It is a great pre-amp I have one and really enjoy it. The Premier 10 is also a good choice as is the PV-11 which can be had for under a $1,000. I had one of those to and really enjoyed it.
