What have you been working on in 2020?
Built two pure Class A power amps, built a state of the art tube hybrid power amp, redesigned our preamp making it sound even better than before, experimented with capacitors and resistors in critical places.  Repaired at least 50 pieces of audio ... 
Concrete Audio Speakers...Speaker Enclosures made out of Concrete ?..
So if I design a piece of junk speaker but enclose it in concrete what will make it sound better?  Lets  
Should a reference speaker be neutral, or just great sounding?
How do you define neutral?  How do you rally know if what you think is neutral really is neutral?  What exactly is neutral.  What is great sounding?  How do you know if what you are hearing is because of the speaker or another piece of equipment? ... 
Preamp under $2,000.

While I also love me some Alvin Lee guitar playing and that was one of the best songs to learn to play with his signature guitar solo, Space in Time was a HS favorite, the band was fun but not long lasting.Happy Listening. 
Reliability of brand
Are you buying a preamp based on service/reliability or sound quality.  All of the preamps above have circuit boards.  If you are a long term owner, to me that is an issue.  I repair so many items for several reasons, the design has flaws, the par... 
Why the truth is not in them ??
BUT you have not sold the item until you have received the payment. So always say that you will hold the item for X days until you receive the payment, If I do not receive the payment the item will be sold to the next person who was interested in ... 
Do Audiophile Cables Matter? Here's PROOF!
