Specific needs for a new preamp...

I'm looking for a solid state preamp (or a tube preamp that sounds close to a solid state preamp with just a touch of warmth) to mate with a Threshold SA/4e.

The preamp needs to have the following:

1. XLR output impedance around 50-100 ohms (the 4e has an XLR input impedance of 600 ohms).
2. No DC offset/leakage (the 4e is DC coupled).
3. Remote control of (at least) volume/gain.
4. Phono stage would be nice.
5. Spend around $3500 (would like to buy new but will consider used).

Does a preamp like this exist?

Yep, the on/off switch is there. However, if I might nit pick I'm curious why:

1. When engaging the balance control on the remote the display does not show the tracking (if only temporarily).

2. Why you cannot switch phase via remote.

If I'm missing something here let me know, but these features would be nice.
