I recently could not pass up a good deal on a EAR 834P MM, so I will have the opportunity to compare it to my current phono stage. It is funny since I had planned to listen to EAR phono stage in my system about 10-15 years ago when I lived in Santa M...

I have seen some people built 834P with alternative input and output tubes but I never heard them. I personally tried all imaginable 12AX7-type tubes (AZ, AT, AU, 6N2P and many others) in 834P. Some other triodes were king of better “here and there” ...

[quote user="hagtech"]First, it seems like the tubes are starved.  They are running very low current.  The 12AX7 is also at low voltage.  I'm guessing they are running at about 0.3mA at 65V plate.  This operating point is way down...
