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?

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.

Arsh,
I wasn't unhappy with the stock tubes but they can easily be bettered.
