Why no remote?


I'm looking to add a tube preamp to my system. I've narrowed it down to a couple....AI Modulus IIIa (which I am leaning towards) and a CJ. The CJ comes with a remote; the AI doesn't. It's frustrating that AI doesn't offer remote control because, for sound, I really prefer it; however, at the same time, I really want a remote (yes, I'm lazy once I sit down to listen). Can someone explain why a company would not offer remote control?

Second, is there a way around this? Creek OBH-10? Others? Would this affect the sound in any way?

I'd also appreciate any other suggestions for tube preamps that are similar to the AI.

Thanks,
Dave

I have a non remote BC3 preamp but am considering a CD player with volume control and using one output for remote and the fixed for (I would assume) non compromised listening. Any potential problems with this config?
