Marantz PM5003 integrated amplifier by Robert J. Reina

I was surprised to read Mr Reina's review that recently came up.
Surprised for the fact that I have heard the same amplifier in January.

The amp was used with my own reference records and together with speakers from Transmission Audio speakers with ribbon tweeters (http://www.transmissionaudio.com/home.html) and Elac - since I own a pair myself and know exactly how those perform.

Beginner in need of a preamp?

Hello,

I am hoping to set up a two channel system using some of my current gear: a CD/DVD player and a pair of Fostex active monitors. I'd like to have a component between the DVD player and the active monitors that will allow me to control the volume via remote control. I realise this is a very naive question, but would this hoped-for component be a "preamp"?

Could some kind soul recommend a best bang-for-buck component - hopefully not more than $100 - that will allow me to control the volume remotely. Second-hand is fine.

Cheers!

Dave
