"There is no reason for you to conclude that I'm angry about the cost of pre's in S'phile's list"
In your OP, you wrote "Hope you're loaded with cash". Elsewhere, you wrote that Stereophile is irrelevant for you because of the lack of tubed pre-amps reviewed.
At this point, I have no idea what you're saying or why you're saying it.

Hope you're loaded with cash = anger?No, I did not write that Stereophile is irrelevant for me because of the lack of tubed pre-amps reviewed. Simply found what S'phile chooses to list (and omit) interesting, and what price points the mag seems to concentrate on and ignore. If you find their list meaningful/helpful, peachy. I don't. But hey, it ain't important enough to get angry about.
I guess my point is basically that S'phile seems to be ignoring the "middle ground", at least for preamps. Jeez, just limiting discussion to tubed pre's a Rec. Comp. list that omits CJ/AI/deHavilland/Manley/Blue Circle/EAR/Valvet/Coincident and other manufacturers that make good pre's for less than $7,500 seems silly to me. A policy that results in that is IMO, ahh, flawed.

you derailed your own thread right out of the gate. It doesn't appear that a single person who responded to your OP got the gist of your, um, non-complaint.
The gist is simply in the list. Interpret it as you see fit. If you see what I'm talking about, fine. If not, you're welcome to consider me off the wall.
Are we supposed to decide what to post based on our estimation of what % of responses will agree? Possibly I'm the only one who thinks something's amiss if - for example - not one tubed preamp (even just a line stage) under $7,500 is deemed worthy of recommendation.
peons ...
T -- it was meant just as a figure of speech.
any such "interpretation" can be considered offensive. I understand your original point, I really do (i consider SP RC list a very loose "marketing" guide at best ) ... but your choice of word, didn't help ...
