tube preamps


Looking for the following tube preamp:
1-take off top end brightness of Krell SS processor & Pass Labs amp
2- well known for midrange sweetness
2-remote controlled
3-slim profile, nothing as large as, say, Audio Research
4-budget/2-4K
Footnote - Yes, I realize the best preamp is no preamp, but this is what I'm looking for!

Try looking for Copland preamps. I had one before I bought my Hovland, sold my Hovland and bought another Copland. Extremely holographic, slimline, not ugly, and it has a good feel to the controls. Look for CTA 301 MKII, I believe, for remote or CTA 305 which is the latest. They can be had used for about $1000.
