Coffman Labs G-1A preamplifier - case in point?

This $5495 preamp, reviewed by Stereophile (January 2014), was definitely NOT an example of stellar internal "build quality", according to Art Dudley. And if you look at the photos of it's internals, you'll see that it's build quality does not appear to be all that impressive.

However, the G-1A's designer (who claims to be an "ex-Naval systems engineer" and a physicist), replied in "Manufacturers Comments" of the same issue that the seemingly haphazard use and arrangement of internal parts ("rat's nest" wiring, bare wires, etc..,) is actually the result of a thoughtful and deliberate strategy to produce the best sound possible and that, in any case, the user *does not hear appearances*.

Anything's possible, I guess...
