Is Morrison E.l.a.d. so great?

I bought myself one as a gift last Christmas and used it for about three weeks. It sounds good. A few weeks later I got a hell of a deal on a used JoLida 502B which was my first venture into tubes after 20 years of playing with solid state hifi toys. Maybe it's just me, but the cheap ass 502B integrated killed my E.L.A.D./McCormack 0.5 Deluxe combo and sold me on tubes majorly. I'll occasionally set up the transistor stuff just to see if I have tube infatuation or not...I don't. Sorry for getting off topic.

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.

Feel free to contact me if you have further questions.

I'm sorry to report that my humble system is constantly being changed and (hopefully) upgraded. Every component except one (you guessed it) is a candidate for replacement. Just like Goldelocks, I've found the right bed. The E.L.A.D. is - just right for me! Read the reviews or contact me for a more explicit rave. Better yet, contact Don and buy one. I think you'll see why we really love this unit.
