Opinions on the current market

I’ve been reading extensively, trying to narrow down the best option for a tube pre to add to my system. The nature of the hobby is such that I expect to try a few different options, so I’m curious about people’s opinions on the market right now. Figuring I’ll have to resell whatever i try, I’d like to ‘buy right’ now. I’m not by nature an equipment flipper, but there are just too many possible options to expect to get it right first time. Anyone else looking at prices now, with informed opinions of whether the market is good or not for a buyer?

Lesson on buying when uncertain-as I am always- 
1. Patience
2. No unknown makers
3. Original owner only.
4. Not over 2 years old


If you follow the above your odds of unloading a change of heart
purchase without getting a sharp haircut are much improved.

Now back to your actual question. My suggestions is to buy
an refurb. Audible Illusions from maker or one his two favorite
retailers. Get the "L" model which comes with a remote. Important
for resale.

If you don't think the AI is the right match, Hilde's  list does not seem
to contain any definite "Nos" in my book.
