Preamp match for Mccormack DNA-125


I have a McCormack DNA-125 driving Gallo Reference 3.1's. I'm going to be sending off my DNA-125 for the Silver or Gold update. I'm looking for a used preamp in the $1-2k price range, preferably tube, with remote and possible A/V output. Any recommendations?

Actually, I did have a problem with DC leakage/amp shutdown with a 0.5/3i combo. BAT diagnosed it as a bad resistor, fixed it in 24 hrs and I had it back in about 4 days total. Never had the problem again. And a hearty re-inforcement with the gain matching comments. I sold a CAT SL-1 MK2 that succeeded the BAT I had cause the stepped gain attenuator could not be properly "fine tuned".
Thanks for the update Steve. We used to sell BAT and McCormack years ago and often had problems when they were paired together.
A Threshold FET1, about 20 year old would be worth considering. Priced at around 2000$ when new, they usually go for up to 500-600$ and there is an auction on eBay right now for a nice MkII unit from Australia (at least judging by the pics). I own one that I bought 3 months ago for 220$ and I am delighted by the sound, includes an truly excellent adjustable phono stage (MM&MC). Add to that the fact it is a Nelson Pass design beautifully put together like some instrument-grade lab hardware, what more could you want? A remote control...
