Tube preamp with balanced in/out and remote?


Hi,

I'm looking for a tube preamp with one (or more) balanced inputs, one balanced and one single ended pre-out (for sub), and a remote for volume. I want something a touch warm sounding and preferably around $1000. I know the BAT's have these features and have seen the Sonic Frontiers might but both are up there in price. Are there any good (or great) alternatives in lower price ranges?

Thanks,

Mike

Nick at Promethius is working on a remote version of his 2 box refence TVC. S/b in the $1k range, more or less.
Thanks for the responses. I decided to bump my budget up and went with a BAT VK-5i. Hopefully it has the sound I like.
