EAR 834P MM/MC options help


I recently acquired an EAR 834P. There is a push button in the back to select between MM and MC with a label that has MM on top and MC at the bottom. Maybe there’s an industry standard for defining whether the button being pushed in or out corresponds to the top (MM) or (MC) but heck if I know. Anyone know whether the button pushed in is MM or MC or vice versa? Not clear in the manual.

Yes, pushed in, I too own one. Got 3 gold lion gold pins I bought for it. Also the new JJ’s e83cc....modeled after the legendary Tesla/Teslovak E83CC.

Awesome, thanks! It does sound much better pushed out, just had to check. Next up tube rolling…

 

Better in the out position with what cartridge?

Ortofon Red MM according to his posts - which is why is sounds better in the MM mode.

@ds4000 tube roll away but you might also consider upgrading the cartridge to the Blue. The Red is somewhat brash.
