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

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!

Thanks. Interested to know what you think. Were you unhappy with the stock tubes?

Rja, you are so right about Meinwald rep-ing great brands. Beside EAR, he does Townshend (the Rock turntable, etc.), Helius (pickup arms and table), and Marten (loudspeakers). His system is always one of the very best at Hi-Fi shows too.
