Looking for a tube preamp with remote control.

Although I am very happy with my modified (with Teflon caps) Conrad-Johnson PV 11 preamp, I need to replace it with a tube preamp with remote control due to my current lack of mobility.
I’m looking to spend no more than $3000. The preamp needs to have a phono.input.
I’m matching it with a Benchmark amplifier.
Any suggestions?

I had great results with Odyssey Audio’s Candela. High value for the money and Klaus’ service is excellent.

Perhaps checkout the Quicksilver Remote linestage. I've heard the non-remote linestage and thought it was excellent. I'd like to add one to my arsenal at some point.

Take a look at Schiit Audio, they make a tube buffered unit with  remote volume and switchable inputs.   Put it in the tape monitor space on the CJ.  More importantly, you still use your CJ as the main preamp.

c-j ....  They just sound right.  
I have recently tried a few decent preamps in my system and keep going back to my. c-j Classic 2 SE 

I don’t think I would buy another c-j without the “SE” trim.
