Balanced tube preamps w/ remote to consider?


Seriously considering the ls-26 since it is right around my price point. My first pick would have been the atma-sphere mp-1 had it not been the price tag. What preamps can be considered from arc, bat, vtl, cary, etc.
The aesthetix calypso would have been considered if it wasn't for the price of the exotic tubes that are required to make it sing.
The amps are atma-sphere m-60, simaudio w-5 and conrad johnson premier 4 as back up.

Another happy Calypso owner. I've tried the BAT VK30 & Joule LA-150 Mk II, and prefer the Calypso by a wide margin. Noe: Tube selection is critical... I use white label Amperex 6922's & Mullard CV-4004's.
