RE: I could NOT live with the quirky remote...

In my case it wasn't just a matter of precisely aiming the remote within the Pre90's very narrow sweet spot. The Pre90 didn't always respond on the first button press on the remote. It might respond on the 2nd press but subsequent presses of another button immediately following might not work. Had to wait, then go through some button gymnastics again for the Pre90 to respond. It became very frustrating.

ONE of the purposes of a preamp (for me) is to offer the convenience of source switching and volume control via REMOTE. If that fundamental requirement is flawed it becomes an annoyance too great to be tolerated and the preamp gets booted out of my system regardless of how nice it might sound. I wanted to like the Pre90 but it wasn't worth the frustration.
