Are future improvements in Amp/PreAmps slowing to a crawl?

I seriously doubt it. There's no way you have a passive sink on the rear capable of dissipating the kind of heat an output stage idling at that power level would throw off. And you haven't really proved there's one back there anyways. 

This thread - for better or worse - has become the poster child for what happens when you let the angry Juror from 12 Angry Men badger you with the old, "then, what about this, then what about that" routine. It’s the oldest scam in town. You can’t PROVE it!! Nobody has to prove anything. Duh! This behavior on this thread and many other threads appears to be nothing more than a desperate ploy for attention and an opportunity for rudeness and name calling. 😫

I'm pretty sure everybody here has concluded you're a fraud. I think the Stereophile article summed it up best. That cracks me up because I hadn't seen it before I said I'd eat my short the day they reviewed your gear. Looks like my shorts are quite safe. 
Just so I understand, you built your first amp in 1969, right? And in 48 years you haven't achieved any success or praise for your audio expertise, but you're about to teach the true greats in the field some big lessons, eh? Do you know how delusional that sounds? Stop doing this to yourself. We all see you have no clothes. Have the dignity to hide your shame.

Hardly a stunning statement from the inventor of the Clever Little Clock and Codename Blue Meanies. 

Costco, you are a wannabe who hasn’t done anything. Little boy, little stick, big mouth.
