The times = Joules...

I get why the commercial guys don't make this type of preamp. The iron alone is quite a bit, but my counter to that is that one can get someone like Heyboer to make the iron for reasonable cost. Folks pay as much just to get Mundorf coupling caps.

It's cost effective as well as being 'Chic'. Manufacturers(marketing) prefer to tout the amount of Joules they've implemented.
Tubes can't have enough iron!

Lytic caps are cheap and compact compared to iron. Quite the reverse from fifty years past.
