Preamp with Remote ?


I like the sound of the First Sound Presence Deluxe II but would certainly like a remote also - anyone heard a Preamp with remote that sounds AS GOOD as the Presence ?? Sorry but no the BAT VK30se does not sound as good......others?? Under $6000.

Right on audionut.Went from CAT ultimate to Aloia. Great sounding preamp at a steal of a price
The Aloia 11.01 inductive is an outstanding preamp at any price at 4000.00 it's a steal.Check this months Ultimate Audio review.
Sonic Frontiers Line 3 is definetly worth an audition as is the 2. I have had the 1,2&3 in my system & enjoyed all of them. Compared to the 2 the 3 gives more bass & a slightly wider & deeper soundstage. I have the 3 now but the 2 is worthy of consideration.
Though rarely seen on the used market, the WAVAC tube pre-amp with remote is very good! Goodluck.
streetman, my melos has a remote - dunno if it can be updated. call melos audio restorations in las vegas, nv. tell brant i sent ya
I agree with Craig. The Sonic Frontiers Line 3 is a superb piece. It is versatile, extremely well designed and doesn't get in the way of the music. Add NOS Amperex tubes and prepare to fall in love. I can't imagine anyone not being happy with it.
The current crop of Conrad Johnson Premier and Art Tube preamps and the PFR Solid State Preamp all have remotes.
Sedond, i'm in the process of buying the melos 333 right now. The seller does'nt have a remote,did they make one for this unit?
the cary slp98 bested the rogue 99 *magnum* version in my system, in all areas, imo. there's one on a-gon rite now, the guy's asking $1600. cary can add remote for $500. dunno how it wood stack up to the 1st-sound, tho - i've heard a lot of good tings about that unit. i tink the melos ma-333/music-director wood be up to the task, tho - it's what i'm using now, & it's in another league altogether than the cary or the rogue...
Joule Electra LA 100 MkIII, remote and great sound. I'm a dealer for Joule, if you need more information on it please feel free to contact me.

Sonic Frontiers Line 3 is excellent sounding, neutral, and has a great remote. Good Hunting. Craig.
Consider Placette either active or passive, though I would suspect you might be inclined to the active ($4.0K). True, not much sex appeal; however, the sound is to be heard-30 day trial availaable.
VAC Standard Preamplifier LE. W/O Phono stage your looking at $4000.00 new, their is one used on the audiogon site now.
ARC Ref 2 (if you can find one used for $6k or less). Has remote AND processor bypass...
What about the Rogue 99??? Comes with Remote and is supposed to be a giant killer... I like my 66 very much - warms up my system nicely...
