A good preamp for around $1000 for parasound JC1s


I am looking for a preamp with a remote to get me by for a year or so until I can afford to buy a better one. I have Magnepan 3.5s and JC1s. I could go with tube or solid state. I would prefer the remote control volume and inputs, but inputs would not be a deal breaker. Any suggestions?

Buy the earlier series of John Curl designed preamps that Parasound produced. The 2000 is just great and you will have money left over for strong drink and saunas. And yes, it does have a great remote that controls everything, even polarity, if I remember correctly.
I am using a P/LD 2000 with a Halo A21 to great effect. The remote does control polarity along with inputs & volume.

You can try to find a pre-owned Pass Labs X2.5 , not exactly your budget (1000.00 $USD) but close
I use the Pass X1 and the combo X1/JC1s is simply magical
I would have to say classe cp-50 or bryston bp 25 i have a bp 25 hooked up to a sim w-5 it sounds amazing.
