Anyone heard the E.A.R. "Acute"?


Sounds interesting, CDP w/tubed output stage and analog domain volume. Just wondering if anyone has had a chance to listen to one?

Every question I posed to the US distributor of EAR products was answered in a timely manner. Did you contact Dan Meinwald at EAR-USA? BTW: He reps some very nice brands.
Thank you all for the information. I appreciate it and would like to hear more of the experiences of EAR owners. I have a great dealer (Jim Pendleton) here locally, and he has arranged an audition for me. He says that Dan Meinwald of EAR USA has always been very helpful and responsive. I called Dan as well, and he called me back promptly.

I read a review that the seimens 1960's nos tubes are best. I ordered them from upscale audio and they arrive tomorrow. I'm using the amperex and I will be installing seimens tomorrow. Will update

If I remember correctly the Acute took 6DJ8/6922 family tubes and yes the Acute benefits from some experimentation with tube rolling.

I liked Siemens CCa and Telefunken E88CC.
Good luck!
