I know this unit i will mention is not high-end. But it is actually pretty good. You probably won’t consider it because it wouldn’t measure like a $5000 pre, but many others with less $ should.
AND... it has all most all your requirements.
The PARASOUND NEW CLASSIC 200. Yup.
"What I want in the preamp:"
SS or Tube is an option, that decision will be finalized by listening to the combo if possible.. SS
All analog...No DAC it does have a DAC
Tape Loop YES
At least 4 inputs Plus 3 ANOLOG + 1 MM/MC (several settings) that can be also be switched to just another anolog input
MM & MC phono input YES
XLR in and out are fine but not required no XLR
Remote that controls Volume, Bass and Treble, Mute The remote .......... an AMAZING REMOTE .... amazing..... you can control bass, treble and subwoofer levels with it. Balance control. Sub-woofer on/off. Back light On/off when you need it. And,, the feel is tactile. everything is where it should be. After only one month with it i could change almost everything without looking at it.
Worth a look at least.
Blah Blah.
It a good pre. Not HI-end but works as a great control centre and is silent/black background to my ears.
A tuner would be fantastic!!! Ha ha ha,,, you funny!
