I can dig that. There are cats in town with great ears that I really trust to give me their honest opinion. I'd rather criticism than praise. I'd rather know how it can be better.

Just because they're happy doesn't mean it sounds good.
$300 on a preamp isn't crazy at all. The OCD comment is pretty spot on for some, but the chase of tone is part of the fun. I definitely have been guilty of obsessing over nuances.
