Rebbi, I'd be willing to bet the stock tube issue just build down to individual preferences and synergies with their stuff in their specific cases. When different tubes sound different, the maker has to decide which to provide. They can't provide them all.
The one input issue is a factor but there are workarounds for that, using an eternal switching device for example.
The volume knob location may or may not be a real issue. Existing owners could probably say best.
Its a fine looking product, but no single product can meet everyones needs best. Features, aesthetics, etc. matter too in addition to sound quality, and are often the deciding factor.
