Are future improvements in Amp/PreAmps slowing to a crawl?

You know, way back on September 12, Roger offered to send one of his pre amps to Kosst to audition under no obligation to buy. He flatly turned him down. Then he has spent the next month berating him and proclaiming that there is no way his product can do what he claims. Just listen to the damn thing and form an opinion after that. Quit f***ing speculating about what it can and can't do. What do you have to lose? It takes a special kind of a**hole to act that way. 
I am truly sorry about your financial situation. You state that giving a fair shake at your expense hasn't been a priority, and I can empathize with that. On the other hand, you haven't, for one second, avoided burning him at the stake at every turn. Kind of a one way street, isn't it? Apparently the sword is only supposed to cut in the direction of your personal bias. In the same vane as you, I have no compunction about telling someone they are acting a fool when they are. Hopefully, you will get out of this financial mess and find a way to actually listen to the piece of gear you are discrediting. Of course, at that point, you could let all of us know whether it sounds as Roger describes or not. If it does, could you and would you swallow your pride enough to actually admit it?
Roger believed in his product enough to let you hear it for yourself. To test the device in question. IOW, he put up. You, on the other hand, irrespective of the circumstances, HAVE NOT put up. It is that simple. Everything else is chest thumping.  
I have in no way said that I believe what he has said. If you could please point out where I said that, I would be grateful. On the other hand, I have not discounted it either. I am curious though, what exactly would you "risk" by listening to this piece of equipment? Your pride? Your beliefs? Financial obligation aside of course. I would love to audition one of these. Of course, IF (note I said if) I found it to do what Roger says and reported it as I heard it, I would be labeled a kool aid drinker, a dupe, and subject to confirmation bias because it cannot possibly be so. It would be better if one of the people that claims this to be snake oil actually test it in their own system and report what they heard. If you heard Roger's device do what he describes, would you be man enough to come back to these pages and report that?
Trelja, I am interested to hear what you think of how it sounds. Please move forward with making this happen. An observation of just the preamp and then one of both amp and preamp together would be good, if you can work that out.
