Being an owner of an ELAD myself, I second Liaoyk and Chatbc on their recommendation of the unit. It is a no-nonsense preamp that would simply disappear in your system. Although the convenience features may leave you wanting, the simplicity and the solid build of the unit, along with the external power supply), is out of this world (especially at its price). As for Don, the designer of the ELAD, he is probably one of the most down-to-earth and customer-centric guy in the industry.
