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...

...but for a different reason.After lots of traveling I'm finally back and continue my long lasting assault on 834.Pieter kept his word and the nano core transformers (both his MkII and a experimental pairon my yet bigger cores) are here. I removed a...

[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...

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 ...

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="decoud"]N-set, if we are at the level of worrying about solder, does it not make sense to drop RCA connectors, and their inherently village design, and switch to something better specified like BNC? Is this not otherwise a little like ta...

Ahoy there Thorsten, you took your time getting here!
Yes, obeissance in the general direction of Huntingdon. Ol' TdeP certainly made a Grand Master move with the 834. Building with the air variables will allow tuning for the 102 very nicely too.

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,...

My reference to air caps was purely a tongue-in-cheek reference to the voids in the coil. Of course the parasitic capacitance due to the propinquity of winding layers would dominate and here the dielectric is quite often Mylar.
It's just that the ...

[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 ...

After going through the anal pains of the Image Gallery upload (it is sohuge now that my browser slows down 10000x times loading it and it ocasionally kicksmy router out of this world; can we do something about it?), here are some picsof my assault o...

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...

[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...

I'm going to give the M2-12R a try with my SPU Classic.
In case anyone is interested........
Like the 3012r the M2-12R is extruded thin wall stainless steel. M2-12R has an even higher effective mass of 18g compared t...
