EAR 834P phono preamplifier
It got decent reviews in the mid 1990s when it first came out. And even now it seems to have following. But how competitive is the original design compared to other MODERN phono preamps in the $1K range?
Here's an 834P clone kit in the USA (also available assembled). https://www.tubes4hifi.com/PH14.htm

I really like this forum, it brings so much joy to my finger tips, as I write my finger tips can't contain their smiles. @hollowman - Bringing Comedy to the Thread is admirable, but like a bad comedian, it's dying a slow death out there. What does a very high end Japanese phono stage -- Phasemation ???? --- have in common with the EAR design? Where's The Punchline ????
What do baking and BDSM have in common?They both involve lots of beating and whipping What does a person with diarrhea and an electric car owner have in common?They both hope they will make it home |
I owned an EAR 834P with volume for a decade. It was around $1200 retail when I purchased it. It went through many tubes replaced the stock RCA jacks, tried many a cable/pc , and "isolation" devices. Enjoyed it but when I went from that to a K&K Audio Trio, there was no doubt I was upgrading, when I heard it in my system. At the time, the Trio was around $2200 retail. |
