tube pre amp to match Sim audio w-3 or w-5


I have never had a tube pre-amp so I would like some input.
I do not need a phono, but I would like a remote.
I am looking for a tube pre-amp that has some warmth but is also accurate, the pre would be used with a sim audio w-3 or w-5 amp. I do like a "thick" or "dense" soundstage.
i would buying from audiogon (used) and would like to spend a max of 1500
thank you in advance

If you are handy with a soldering iron you should check out the "Mood Indigo" kit from Raleigh Audio on www.kandkaudio.com I have built Kevin's phono stage kit which uses some of the same circuit ideas and it's wonderful.
