Agree with Dbamac on price.Best is to get one and send it to Mike Elliot for upgrades.5 yr. warranty and very good sound.Reliability has been no problem with up-graded mod.Agree with all about older reliability problems.Like Harley-Davidson, all has been addressed and corrected.I have had 3 amps and 2 preamps since 1988 and am happy.One mans opinion,naturally...good luck...remember to cheer for all the Olympians and Hercules for his inspiration...Bob
