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??

So i will prepare my own grid listing specs for amps/preamps/speakers for my top picks. maybe this will help me. Make sense? trying to make mom happy.
