Remote Preamp with Phono Section on Board

Okay guys give me your thoughts on a remote control preamplifier with an on board phono section. Have looked at Classe gear, any others with merit? Lets keep it around the thousand dollar figure.

Phono can be added later; not sure about remote. Fully equipped unit will be a little more than $1K, but its a great pre.

Nice sounding line stage, but the phono card is only average. There is a JJ Electronics 243 preamp for sale on the Gon right now. Asking $1300.00 I think. This is a great sleeper of a preamp, excellent all tube phono stage, but alas no remote. Your bill is tough to fill at 1K. Oz
