RE: need a preamp rec that SOUNDS like a SET

I don't think the remote is a big issue - it may add a slight issue to an amplifier but the thing to keep hold of is, is the Amplifier with remote from Company A better than the amp without remote from company B?

Company A may be a much better designer and thus even with the added issues that a remote presents - it's still better than company B's best effort without the added issues that a remote presents.

The only way to settle an issue on this is to listen to the exact same amplifier that comes in a remote and non remote version and then listen to the difference. Some makers Like Audio Note offer both versions and you get to decide how much the remote affects the sound and if it is is worth it for the remote control.

I personally don;t see the need because I have to get up to change the disc or record and while I am standing there I can turn the volume knob.

But with people who use digital media as their main listening source and with wildly different recording levels then it makes sense to have a remote for the volume control - or better a way to control the output volume at the computer lowering the level being fed to the preamp.
