Do you know realities of a one man show artisanal production shop of some world wide recognition who apparently does not have a desire to make masses happy?
By the time he makes that one crappy "statement" product he can probably make five cheaper ones or thirty of his budget ones. If the shop takes a repair job than it doesn't assemble units for sale.
Part of the benefit of being rich and in possession of almost unlimited resources is ability to spend the money on things we like without concern of a price tag.
(Methinks) There are very few people who offer something special in any field. I have no experience with Evans products whatsoever, but he may be one of them at least to some people. But it is offending to people like you because in your opinion everybody deserves that quality and it should cost max $1k and if you can't have it nobody else should have it either.
The problem of Americans expressed in threads like "wretched excess" is that as long as they were kings of the hills and their checkbooks could afford the top line of the consumer goods they were not concerned with that excess. Times changed and they can't get used to the fact the top of the line is beyond their reach.
I would never remotely have considered any Tom Evans product.
When I first became interested in "hi-fi" 50+ years ago, the ostensible reason was to achieve high fidelity , (accurate), sound. My experience since then has demonstrated to my ears that contemporary high-accuracy equipment sounds the best.
If SOTA accuracy is what you want you can get a phono preamp or preamp for ~$1000 and an amp for ~$2000-$3000. Once you get into delusional euphonics rather than accuracy, there is not limit.
As far as phono preamps go, I bought my last vinyl disc about 30 year ago; I last listened to a LP perhaps 15 years ago. Vinyl is very far from SOTA hi-fi sound today.

Who accurately reproduce orchestra from contemporary budget equipment using two boxes outputting the sound.
It does make life easier but audio hobby is not about that. I can get the same result you're getting buying contemporary car. No need to spend on home audio
he's a numbers guy focused upon irrelevant metrics.
The current hobbyists are 10% personal euphonics vs. accuracy and 90% self-delusion.

when I engaged in dealing and wheeling, "tradin upgradin" and now I only buy "objects" which are interesting design wise or are a spit in the face of a checkbook audiophile type.
I emailed Tom Evans asking him about his side version. He said that although he was irked by the light in which his device was presented and the fact that they were "only" getting 10K of the retail price and dealer was getting 15k but the flack of 25k price tag outrage was only theirs, the real reason he requested the takedown of the video was that Mend it Mark after he created that reverse engineered service manual has made a file out of it and started to sell that file on a side for 240 pounds each to interested parties. That's what folk heroes of this type usually do and it only requires a glimpse of Man it Mark to know it.
