i own one. it's the absolute greatest bargain in audio. i mean it. call don morrison and talk to him. the elad adds nothing to the sound. anyone who complains about is really complaining about another part of their system. if you like a "tube" sound don't get the elad. it is a solid state,digitally oriented piece of equipment. go to the morrison website and read the bench test results. it exploded a conrad-johnson unit costing 15k.
