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

I got the ediswans today. Got my player back. The ediswans are very moderately warm and very full. Non offensive highs. Nice soundstage. Bass could be a little tighter. Could also have a little better separation. If you like your music to the warm side this is the one for you. I think they could be a little more open. I heard mullards before and I prefer these to the Millard sound. I will try mixing tubes now since the ear allows you to do that I will report back soon.

I've got Ediswan's in my Acute 3. I agree in that they could be a little more open. Let us know what tube you swap in. I might try one 7308.

I swapped in the Siemens for one of the ediswans it was a little better but it could still be more open. Plus the layering could be better. I wish I could try the kubala sosna interconnects emotions. They add slight warmth without taking away openness from what I see from forums that I have researched. I might have to figure out a way to get them in my system. The reviewer that liked the Siemens used kubala sosna emotions. I'm going to mix the ediswans with amperex and telefunkens next.

Yes, there are new tubes being labeled Mullard.

I always liked my Acute with the original JJs, but I bought a pair of 6DJ8 Amperex Bugle Boys from Andy at Vintage Tube Services in 2012 and they sound just great, IMO. Full-bodied, detailed, not harsh. I've seen no reason to fool around with other tubes since then. They were a bit expensive, $266 for the pair shipped, but well worth it, IMO.
