In Pursuit of the very best amplifier (to my ears!) money can buy...

I am going to be hearing a few different preamps in my system very soon. The preamps I am curious about are the Aesthetix Callisto, Trafomatic Tara 30a and the VAC Statement. While I have already heard the VAC I find myself drawn back to it. While I am very happy with my current setup, it could do with a tube in the chain. To quote Ron Resnick, "...that is not a question! You MUST have at least one tube in the chain. Stop talking as though that is somehow in question!"

Meanwhile, I have second room accumulating extremely lightly used gear! At some point I will need to transition from the fun part of accumulating to the less exciting part of dealing with bargain hunters!
Maybe Ron can loan you his Incito S?
