A Preamp for ARS Filarmonia ?

Hi all,
A question to Filar's owners here:
I have A Filar without tape loop - and use with SBAM of Merlins speakers. Now I have more than 1 source (3 to be exact). Currently, I have to swap the sources at SBAM input - very inconvenience, and I also want to have option to control the volume via remote control.
Do you think it would be good idea to add a passive preamp in front of the Filar? I'm thinking about the Adcom GFP-750. The Adcom will handle switching sources and volume.
Second option would be adding tape loop (still missing volume control) - anyone know how much would it cost?
Thanks

Hi Thuan,
When I asked Bobby about adding a tape loop he gave me the impression that it would be difficult & expensive.

What I had in my system at the time was a BAM with 2 inputs. I've told him a BAM with 3 or more inputs and a selector switch on the front would be a great thing and probably increase VSM sales. I don't know if he'll ever make it that way, but it seems like you could cram another pair in.

I know it's not a total solution, but it would be an improvement. You might want to see how much he'd charge you to add another input.
