Obsession you called it exactly. The problem i face, only one audio store to hear components, they have a limited brand selection. Jolida, mcintosh, B&W. and it ends there.The gon has opened a whole new world, especially when $$ are limited.

no trick questions.Yes a member since 2003; however, as life changes and kids come into the picture things change. I am now getting back into the scene and trying tube stuff. This is new to me and looking for assistance. 
Mapletree 4SE vs. TAD 150 signature best sound???
Yeah, it seems the phon stage of the TAD 150 is the weak point. i have a B&K Pro 10MC Sonata series pre that I am contimplating keeping just for the phone?? I am not sure if it's equivalent to the TAD or and improvement.

I have been looking into two other pre-amps in the 600 - 1,000 prices range: Sonic Frontiers SFL-1 and PrimaLuna prologue 3. How do they compare to Maple tree 4SE??

Okay the million $$$ question, does anyone know of a used one for sale? What can I expect to pay for a used unit @ $600???/

Would it be fair to say it produces a 3-dimensional wide soundstage with no roll off on the top or bottom ends, bass is tight with impact as needed, top is airy, mids are velvity?????

I know few are in circulation; however, they seem to sell quickly on the used market.. Are they perfect best of all worlds?????? 
conrad johnson comparison MF200 VS. Premier 4
second owner doesn't have any manufCTURE history of repairs or otherwise. It's why iam thinking of a lower value < 1kI wonder what data audiogon has, unfortunately i don't have a subscription 
conrad johnson comparison MF200 VS. Premier 4
Yeah I am leaning towards the premier 4; however, the price being asked is 1,200. I am thinking the value is less due to age??????

any cj fans? 
what impacts the sound quality more amp or pre-amp
looking to get more silky mids and highs, larger soundstage.. the original chinese tubes in the jolida were nice but too loose in low end
