Looking for a new preamp Max $5k


Hi All!

I'm new here and this is my 1st post.

As the title says, I'm looking for a new preamp as part of a new system I'm putting together.

So, decided on Klipsch Cornwall IV, Parasound Halo 21a+

What I want in the preamp:

SS or Tube is an option, that decision will be finalized by listening to the combo if possible

All analog...No DAC

Tape Loop

At least 4 inputs Plus

MM & MC phono input

XLR in and out are fine but not required

Remote that controls Volume, Bass and Treble, Mute

A tuner would be fantastic!!!  

I'm sure I'm forgetting something and I'm sure all here will point me to some other options I'd want.

Thanks!!!

I'd rather just have an external dac for easy upgrade path. I'm not a purist who doesn't want any digital circuitry, but why have and not use.

 

If I can find a stereo receiver I like, going that route is possibly an option.

Many thanks for the great opinions!

I really appreciate everyone taking the time to share.
