At that price point, any MFA unit. 
Best preamp under $10K for Plinius SA-250/IV?
Reflection Audio OM1-Quantum. I have the OM1. The quantem has all the Bybee devices and other tweakes. It sounds incredible. That is my next pre. 
Audible Illusions M3A or AI L-1 and CJ EV-1
Another Bruce Moore design is the MFA Magus. It is more musical than the AI design. It certainly sounds better than the CJ. 
Every make a purchase you truly regret?
Counterpoint SA-20- Lousy design with a designer who would not take responsibility for his Mosfets. The guy should have been bending over backwards to fix a poor choice in mosfets. Instead he overcharges to "upgrade" them.

Condition this baby
It appears that I was not as clear as I could have been. I believe that the Triplite surge protector is limiting the amount of current. I believe that my amp clips because of that. I may be off, but my goal is better music at a louder level. I wou... 
Retail vs. List Price
How much do you discount your services, goods, or wages? 
Is Component "Upgradability" Important ?
I believe that it was more important to be able to upgrade in the near past. But now, there is much more liquidity in the marketplace with A-Gon, ram, audioshopper, etc. I would think, unless one is totaly enamoured with a piece or manufacturer, i...
