Wish me luck


Just got a bag full of part. Going to mod. my 834P. Hope it doesn't end up being a boat anchor.

I have done a fair amount of soldering in the past. It's not very difficult. Make sure you let the solder set a little bit with the heat applied or you will get a cold joint. The local Radio Shack has a 15/30 watt unit that sells for about $10. The solder sucker is about the same.

I bought the parts from someone who does modes. I plan on doing some more in amonth or so.

I didn't look at the type of resistors. I'll check later.
The sound.... Better separation.Blacker backgound. Definatly smoother. I have a couple "brighter sounding" records to play later. Only have a small amount of time to listen this morning.

Mitch Singerman in LA is well known for his EAR 834P mods. I'm sure if you contacted him he'd be glad to discuss the mod package he installs. Hovland caps are part of his package as is a complete re-tube. Mitch is a great resource.
My lp's are sounding better than ever. Getting to 200hrs burn in time. I think a couple more days should get the job done.

I have a question, I have no problem doing the upgrade myself, does anyone know a company that sells all the parts together in a "kit"?

Thanks,

Jeff
