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?

I'm thinking about trying the ediswans based on a recommendation from a really good audiophile I know
Are you already getting tired of the Siemens? Why the change? Based on your previous posts, seemed like you really loved the Siemens.

I just ordered a pair of Siemens from Brent Jessee and will let you know my thoughts. Should be burned in about a week or so. I'm able to return them if they not what I am looking for but hoping for things to open up and still be extremely musical and engaging. Upscale only had the Siemens A-frame which was from the 1970's, and Brent had the early 1960s Siemens 6922 that he says will have a more fuller bodied midrange with the same detail and airiness of the other Siemens. Have not heard much about the Ediswans other than the reviews on the Upscale website.
Does any of you guys own the newest Acute4 ?
I have been reading about it and would be interested in hearing from anyone whom has auditioned this spinner?

Keep me posted & Happy Listening!
I'm not tired of them. They sound great. I'm always curious in audio. I like to try things. I want to see how much of a different sound that the ediswans have. I'm want to see what will happen. The reason I love the EAR is because I can change it up a little and get great sound without spending a fortune.
No,

I own the Acute 3. The Acute 4 is two separate units and double the cost of the Acute 3. I bought my Acute 3 used so it is quite a lot more money, though I'm sure it would be fantastic.
