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??

There is always something better.

I had a setup I couldn't even listen to until I put a better preamp in the chain, now it's sounds incredible.
