Coincidentally, I started a forum about my EAR834P phono stage just a few days ago, but was taken down after a bed wetting tattletale dropped a dime on me. The post was about using an orange fuse by Synergistic Research and the insane difference it made in this phono stage. Originally designed by Tim de Paravacini, it's definitely a classic endorsed by Fremer and others. Surprisingly affordable, capable of MM & MC cartridges, and interestingly, you can roll other tubes besides the designer's call for (3) 12AX7's. A separate power supply was added later, which was a popular thing to do with them. I'm listening to it right now. VERY pleasing.
