Preamp recommendations for Pass Labs Aleph 30 amp


There are so many preamps out there that I don't know where to start.

I am looking for a neutral sounding preamp with quick pace, excellent air, and tight deep bass to complement my Pass Labs Aleph 30 power amp.

I had an Audio Electronic Supply DJH signature preamp (Cary). It was great in so many ways but I got tired of the dark and slow sound. I realized I like PRAT but want a natural ease in its presentation as well.

I want 4 inputs, 2 outputs and remote. My budget is under $900 used.
My current cdp is a Cary 308. My speakers are fast and detailed high end custom made.

I think Audio Research tube preamps would be a good match if you like dynamic sound and honest presentation. I own LS-25MkI and it is a very open and dynamic sounding preamp. Should be a very nice match. Fully balanced design, adjustable gain, theater pass-through(if you care about that). Uses 4 6922/6DJ8 tubes.
