That's a good question. The old elicit was a more powerful elex + a double power supply + a fancy front panel.
Elex and Elicit shared the same board. The elex missed the power supply components for one of the channels so the one on the other channel used to feed both channels. The elex also had smaller power transistors.
Having said that, I go back to your question, Xiekitchen, and wonder if reverting to just one teriod transformer in the newer elicit was an act of cost reduction or an act of better design.
My 1993 elicit is a technological masterpiece.
I can't think of anything in that price that would give me the 3D sound imaging, the details and the warmth I get from my good old elicit.
