Info. on EAD Classic AV


Does anyone have any experience with the EAD Classic AV Preamp? User friendliness, setup, sound for HT and 2 Channel. I have been looking into moving to separates for sometime now and I have come across a pretty good deal on a Pristine EAD Classic. I will be going to a local dealer to audition the newer version tomorrow. I have read the 1995 review of the Classic on the EAD website and although they state it�s a logistic nightmare, but the sound is incredible.

The unit in question has capability to play DD and DTS. I am not looking to have all the bells and whistles. I generally send my video signal direct to from the source to the TV. The benefit I hear from the EAD product is that it is excellent to HT and equally excellent in 2 channel.

I�ll check back about every two hours until 6:00 p.m. Pacific Time

Any help would be great

Thanks
Jim

I used to own one.Bottom line; still to this day best pre/rpo made for 2 channel without analog bypass.Though a little difficult to set up,it worked and sounded great in all formats.As the previous post mentioned make sure it does DTS aon all software.You can call EAD with the serial # and they will tell you.Ask for Daniel Sperry.
