Best way to add remote volume control to tube pre.

What is the best way to add remote volume control to a high-quality tube preamp?
Placette?
An inexpensive but quality
solid state preamp like a Rowland Capri in front of the tube preamp?
Something else?
I really don't want to degrade the sound too much.
Should this be done at all?
Any thoughts would be welcome.

Cheap options are the Creek remote volume control and, if you can find one, the Chase RLC. I've used both and don't believe I or anyone else can hear a negative effect on the sound. If you don't like either one you won't have much invested and they are easy to sell.

Good luck,

Wendell
