Preamp suggestions, yes again


I know these types of topics come up very often but here's another.

I'm looking for a preamp for my system. I currently use an Onkyo TX-SR705 as a pre. I have Klipsch RP-600M bookshelf speakers fed by a diy First Watt Aleph J amp. 

I'm looking at the Odysey Candela and the Van Alstine Vision SLR to start. I'd like to stay around this price point or lower.

I do not need phono but a remote is a must have. Obviously I'm open to ss or tubes. Thoughts on the two in considering? Other suggestions?

I agree, I have expensive McIntosh equipment and they all come with cheap plastic remotes.  I would be more than willing to pay $300.00 for the same remote in an aluminum chassis that doesn’t show the oils from your hands and fingers.
