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??

I won’t mention any brand names because I’ve discovered that, when I do, my comments aren’t posted/ published. I have been blown away recently by a particular preamplifier circuit using the 6SN7.

Ear Yoshino 912 would be my second choice. I've had it both in my system in direct comparaison.
