Preamp Help

Currently looking to replace my Parasound ZPre3 preamp with a TUBE Preamp.I’m looking for a Preamp that has a remote that will allow me to adjust the Treble and Bass as well as having a Subwoofer Out.

 Not looking to brake the back, my budget is $1k and was wondering if there are options other than the Schiit Freya +.

Used could be an option, but please no suggestions of something I’ve got spend months trying to locate or over my budget.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated

Thanks

I think the  Schiit Freya + is a great choice. 
 

You will find that bass and treble controls become less prominent as you get to higher performance gear. They tend to degrade the signal and don’t actually accomplish what they are supposed to do. I have tried them repeatedly. 
 

my rule of thumb is only upgrade by 2x or more… the Freya + fits and the Schiit is a great value for the money… I got one for fun… great value. You can see my systems under my I’d.
