Graham Slee bruker op-amper i sine produkter. I siste Stereophile (#9 2007 s. 25-26) gir Michael Fremer high five for kombinasjonen Reflex og Elevator. Han skriver:

My first serious listening took place after I’d returned from a concert at Avery Fisher Hall, where I heard Brahms’ Symphonies 3 and 4 under Lorin Maazel.

[...]

If Graham Slee’s home is as neat and well ordered as the sound of his new phono preamp delivered through my speakers, he’s welcome to organize mye garage any time. The combo Era Gold Reflex and Elevator EXP produced an extemely well-organized physical picture that was as convincing and believable as what I’d heard live a few hours before.

[...]

... the orchestras’ massed images were thightly compacted (especially vertically) and superbly focused in three dimensions, the brass, woodwinds and timpani appearing subtly but convincingly behind the strings, which were massed but easily identified in groupings — as I’d just heard live. [...] Harmonically, the Slee combo got the job done without adding grain, glare, edge, etch, substractive muck, or confusion.

[...]

Switching to rock, produced the same solid, well-organized sound, with impressive rhytmic authority, image solidity, and dynamic punch. The Slee combo was fast and revealing without sounding mechanical, and harmonically full without sounding overripe. [...] If anything, the Slees errred on the slightly dark side but never sounded veiled or closed in. Transparency was never in question.

[...]

It wasn’t Balanced Audio Technology VK-P10SE or the NAT signature or the Manley Steelhead, but it was among the most well-balanced phono preamps I’ve heard of any technology at any price. It got out of the way and let the music do the talking with great clarity and definition.

At this point, the Graham Slee Era Gold Reflex and Elevator EXP together are, by far, the best $2300 phono preamp I’ve heard. [...] Those who already own an Era Gold Mk.V — or any other MM-only phono preamp — and who are considering a low-output MC cartridge should definitely consider the sweetsounding Elevator EXP. Its frontmounted toggled switches make experimenting with cartridge easy, and the results are instantaneous.
