I think its safer to say the 102 is different to the 72.
Personally… I like the 72 - and I love the 82. I had a 102… Need I say more…?

The 102 is perfect for folk who love hifi and remote controls.
The 72 is generally preferable to music lovers

Going from a Nait XS to a 72 I thought I’d miss a remote but can’t say its bothered me. The quality of the 72/180 over the XS more than makes up for a very slight inconvenience.

I am putting together an olive system, for now I have bought the nap140 and the CDX, only the preamplifier is missing and I would like to have a remote control. very important thing is the quality of the phono input
82, then…?

Beat me to it 
but I would like to avoid the additional power supply because strangely in my house the hicaps are buzzing (I’ve tried everything but they keep buzzing)

Only correct answer. 
An 82 will run with a 140, but does need its NAPSC.
Which is not very big…
The ‘best’ pre otherwise, is a 72… But no remote.

sorry, i use google translate
A 52 is the best olive pre and has no hicap or NAPSC…
Alternatively, get a serviced 72

Dammit @Debs , I have the 102 but I’m also a music lover, just never had access to a 72 maybe one day…

The 82 only needs a NAPSC along with a 140 and is better than a 102

seeing the prices of the 52 I think I will take a 72 and give up the remote control
