So damn hard deciding which tube preamp to buy!

So you have $10 to $25k. What do u do??? So many names. Cant test them cause no one nearby stocks them, and not broken in.

What does one do??

A complete system for 25k I know I could, and be very happy.. 25k for just a preamp, I would stay PISSED for the rest of my life knowing I spent 25k on any single component, NO MATTER.. Including speakers.. Regards

I’ve heard the LTA preamps and they are also amazing. The other outstanding preamp I’ve heard i by Pass labs, then there is Shindo, EAR, Audio Note. Then there is ARC, and more and more
