[quote user="Paul S"]Adrian, I wonder how you wound up with the never-mentioned FET 10? I prefer it to the EAR 834 I heard. Is this another case where it's full of old caps? I would not be at all surprised if futzing with those caps might yield as ...

I guess Thorsten is laughing since he should be the main receiver of TdP email. Popularity of a product is a double bladed sword. I do hope that sales of EAR 834 phono stage increased notably after Romy decided to make that circuit into his "end of ...

Hi, [quote user="Chirag"]103 or 103R + mass loaded SME headshell + 3012 or a 3009 + Seiki 1500 + hagerman opamp phono stage (good only with select parts and battery power) or an EAR 834 (with some mods) and some old...

It's polishing a turd though isn't it? I listened to the 834 quite a bit when it came out and thought it sounded poor, even for the price. imho, The circuit's just bad. If you do all that to it it isn't really an 834 anyway. I used to work for a valv...

I wonder if you're doing your listening with the Bidat using its volume pot or you're using only vinyl with your phono correctors or maybe the ET-T-834 EAR using its volume pot. Maybe the Melquiades has its own attenuators. I'll be glad to know how y...

I'm a phono moron, but having had several phono preamps, I think I can understand what finds Romy right in the EAR 834P, which I love. I'm not as skilled and crazy as to try to make all the Thorsten mods in it by myself, but I've tried some tube swap...

[quote user="guy sergeant"]I used to work for a valve amp making company and we had a little 2 stage phono amp that sounded far better than the 834 with passive eq, no feedback etc. It also cost less than the EAR.I can send you the schematic if you w...

Romy, how are things progressing with this? Is it all done and dusted yet?
Can you compare and contrast the sonic differences between this high Gm contrivance and your previous EAR 834 variant?
All the World is waiting for the sunrise....

Hi All, 103 or 103R + mass loaded SME headshell + 3012 or a 3009 + Seiki 1500 + hagerman opamp phono stage (good only with select parts and battery power) or an EAR 834 (with some mods) and some old Altec mic t...

Yes, Thorsten was the man
that made the initial modification in the EAR 834 and I need to note that it
was not redesign of any kind but juts basic modifications and admitting the unnecessary
things. Even though Thorsten is the industry p...

[quote user="ArmAlex"]Dear Romy,Try EAR 312. it may help.[/quote]There is a very little info about the EAR 312 and I do not know if it is “stronger”.
Wherever I looked I was not able to find the output impedance numbers. It looks like the preamp us...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"][/quote]This is a technical post.I've made some progress on my assault on the above version of EAR 834. After hard (mostly because of my idiocy) labouring through the soldering, I've creeped to the level where I can make so...

Adrian, I wonder how you wound up with the never-mentioned FET 10? FWIW, it was one of the better all around phono stages I've heard, and - not that it matters - I prefer it to the EAR 834 I heard. Is this another case wher...

I am happy to have this here. I hope our members will take advantage of this and fill it up with information. I certainly will note any surprising observations I have with EAR 834 if I modify it.
It seems more like a general catalog of elements,...

Here are some commentaries regarding my “End of Life" Phonostage.
The name of this phonostage derives from many factors. I am forty, winch it more or less a half live and in the first half I was playing a lot with different audio toys. The last 10 y...

And you have proved it: I am reading (and studying) GSC for over 15y and, as I have worked in Physics research for some years, I am eligible to say that you are performing experimental Physics using scientific methodology. Even failed exper...
