Preamps with balanced ins/outs and remote


I know there are some really good preamps without remotes like the Coincident line stage. I also know there are really good preamps with just single ended in and outs like the Herron and the Dude. However, are there really good preamps with balanced ins and outs with a remote? I have Merrill Audio Veritas amps that require balanced ins and a balanced system overall. I need a remote because I make a lot of my CD,s and the volumes of the various songs do not always match. Thanks in advance.

Electrocompaniet makes a couple of preamps that are fully balanced and have standard or optional (fancy) remote controls.

I have always loved the EC sound - the punch of SS combined with the smoothness of tube. For some, the looks (perspex and gold) can be a turnoff, but they now make optional silver faceplates.

It recently discontinued a couple of models and released a new preamp, so there may be some demos for sale at dealers.

Certainly worth a listen.
