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 use transformer-coupled
SS outputs, I am not sure why it does so. To keep the noise out? That will be strange…
Unfortunately I can't lend it for a listen, I'm too faraway! The system in which 312 is being used is quite different with yours of course. But what i know is when I used more than one set of output many pre amplifiers kind of die. Not this one, even using 2 sets of long interconnects it's very stable and no sound degradation. That's why I thought it may be powerful enough. I can send you some pics from inside if you are interested.

I think it will be no 312....

When you use more than one set of outputs in a pream many BAD
preams will die, but this is also would be depending of the power amps’ input impedance.
If two sets of long interconnects caused
sound degradation then it was not bad preamp but VERY BAD preamp. Generally, a high current, DC coupled preamps
should have the lowest output impedance and it looks like your 312 is the
topology as above. I am not sure what the “psychologically healthy Paravicini” made in his preamp putting there
output transformers. Anyhow, it does not
look as it is a common preamp in my part of the world and I do not think I will
be able ever to evaluate it. Even if I
did I am not sure I would use it as I do not want Mr. is to “build his reputation
on my bones”.

The new room is officially open.

Today is a first day since we moved to the new house last June
when a local audio guy comes on over to do some listening as I feel that the
room and playback setup is over. It is kind of important to me to have this introvertial
milestone, to know that my playback is up and running and to feel that this
part of my comfort is… comfortable. It is funny as when we were hunting for a
new house then to have a good listening room objectives were very deeply sited into
our requirements. We did not like the house initially but I did feel that this listening
room had a good potentials and it was something that made wify to see and to examine
the house during second showing. She did ask me how long it will take for me to
setup the listening room, and she did imply in that time to rebuild my midbass
horns. We were expecting the twins then and I told her that it will take 3-4
year to open the new listening room for business. So, I am running 1.5 year
ahead of schedule…
There is a tone of thing that I still need to do in my
listening room: organize the CD/LP/Video/tapes alphabetically as it used to be,
find somewhere 3-6 extra DB volume, figure out how to use video and DAW with Larry
Gold at the same time, try to put in ULF use the lest channel extra 2 scan
speak drivers and so on… but the intrinsic bones of the playback Room/Macondo/Milq
operation is already setup and I am content with what I getting here.
