E.A.R. 834P


i know this phono pre has been around for a while, looking for tweeks, tube improvements, or any other things that can be done for this fine piece of gear, i am trying to chose between a ps gcph and the 834p, both are stock no mods, the 834 has telefunken tubes

I modded my 834p myself. Not a big deal to do the work. The results put the unit in another league. I would like to get a set of the tx 103's that Bent audio sells. I can't decide if I want to go with the mu setup or the raw 103's.

Underwood is offering a mod to the GCPH promising wonderful improvements. I recently saw this in the classifieds on A'Gon but do not know any more about it.
I heard that Great Northern Sound Co does mods on the EAr phono preamp.

Should do wonders to it.
i sent the 834p to mitch singerman for his latest mod, should be getting it any time will report the difference in what the sound is like to the unmoded one, he advised 100 hrs of breakin, during the time the ear has been out and the ps gcph in i have given the gcph a good audition, will be putting one for sale here on audiogon after my choice is made,
I'm surprised Mitch recommended only 100 hours. I guess it depends on what mods are done, or he is using different caps from a few years ago? I would be inclined to give it at least twice that amount, but Mitch does know what he's doing.
