Pardon me, but I think you're deluded if you're claiming that this is what others here have suggested. Certainly I've never seen such claims.
I'll give you credit for the title of your thread: It's just a rant.
... If you have a good amp or preamp and you feel the itch to upgrade, chances are, again, 98%, that the amp or preamp you presently have is not the impediment to your achievement of great sound ...I'm not sure how you arrive at this figure, but I think it's dubious.
... today I would cringe at all that misguided pablum that I mostly regurgitated from things that I had read but did not really understand and things that I thought I knew that I now know I do not ...So you assume that others are also posting pablum and regurgitating?
... if you rely upon others’ posts for finding just the right piece of gear that will suddenly part the Red Sea, spread the clouds and open up rays of sunlit audio-nirvana to suddenly shine it’s grace on your head and ears, you’re deluded.

Those that want to claim that one amp is better than another or that one preamp is the answer to the search for great sound will, obviously, continue to post here with their unequivocal and yet baseless opinions ...You're claiming to know that posts not even yet written are baseless?
