Used preamps under $500 better than Audiolab 8000C

I just got an Audiolab 8000C and i'm wondering if in the price range of $400-$500 can I get better sound? I'm an avid vinyl fan and need tone controls. It sounds good, just wondering if I can do better? Any w/remote?

I have searched audiogon's list of tube preamps however, but found them to be really expensive. Do you have any in mind you'd recomend or to keep an eye out for? matt

Up to now I really haven't considered buying Rotel since all the new stuff is made in China (or so I've heard) but my favorite shop here in chicago is a Rotel dealer so I'm gonna demo the rc-1070 and 1090 this weekend hopefully.
