Balanced Tube Preamps I Should Try

I am looking for a balanced tube preamp to mate with either my Pass X-250 or Sim Audio W-5 amps. I think the amps sound better using the balanced inputs. I would like a tube preamp with remote control if I can find a very good one. Price range would be $5K retail.

Thanks and Happy Listening.

You might want to consider the new Aesthetix Calypso which has both balanced & unbalanced (RCA) inputs and outputs. It should be on the market very soon if not available now. It comes with a remote control and is CDN $6,500 which should equate to around US$4,750 or there abouts.

EAR 864 also offers balanced & unbalanced inputs and outputs in addition to the ones mentioned above (Atma-Sphere, Audio Research, BAT.
