Top manufacturers!

There is one name which is not known among dealers yet a name producing most exquisite preamps in the world. I am referring to Mr. Don Morrison and E.L.A.D. standing for Electronic Line Amplifying Device. I invite everyone to visit http://www.audioreview.com/reviews/preamplifier/index_byrating.shtml as well as http://www.donmorrisonaudio.com/ I am waiting for my ELAD to arrive. I have been an audio enthusiast for the last 30 years and have not found better service than Don’s. Considering the performance, reference standard components – watch out (not to mention the under $1,000 price tag). Andrew G.

Krell, Magnepan, Resolution Audio, MIT, VPI, and ASC in that order...for me so far, anyway.

I only have a few years of experience, but I'll throw in Mark Levinson, Jeff Rowland, Wadia and Sonic Frontiers.

Don't forget Merlin. The speaker manufacturer, not the wizard. You can forget the wizard, for all I care.

Don't forget Spectral. I have to admit, though, even though I own their preamp and power amp, they are a difficult bunch of people to deal with as a consumer.
