seeking preamp suggestions for Lamm M1.2 amps

I really something with a remote ;)

why not a lamm pre amp?

any more suggestions? I may just keep the Cary - it has 8db gain balanced and I haven't been able to find any other linestages much lower.

thanks for the suggestions so far

My friend uses an ARC Ref. 3 with his Lamm M2.2s, (the more powerful class A/B cousin to the M1.2), and it sounds great. It runs both single ended as well as balanced inputs and outputs, and it has a great remote control that controls everything.

(And, in case you're interested, I use the Ayre K-1xe with my Lamm M2.1s, and it sounds great too, and I recommend it hightly. (But you said you preferred a tube preamp, and the Ayre is solid state.) The Ayre has a remote, but it is only used for volume control and not for switching sources. I know that the Ayre can have its output adjusted merely by changing resisters on the board. Which is something I need to do at some point too, whenever I can stop listening to music, and get my lazy butt off the couch and do it! :-)

My two cents worth.
Good Luck in your search!

Thanks Ipy, I forgot to say balanced in's & out's would be nice or I'll have to switch all my cables and I LOVE the Fusion Audio Interlocker's I have.

Herron VTSP-3, if you are after neutrality. This latest version has low/high gain mode, a remote & uses 6922s.

I should say that I really want a remote and tubes ;)

Thanks
