EAR 88pb, Opinions?

Not much print on this phonostage. Anyone compare it to the EAR324 or other phonos in the $5K range? It will be paired with a low output Dynavector cartridge.

I had an EAR amp and it was very very difficult to obtain access to the el34 tubes. I recommend asking for a photo or two of the inside of the unit to see how it is assembled. IMHO.

I little forward, but superior in the way it plays music. You would probably use the 4 ohm tap for the dynavector. The colume control is handy as the 4ohm tap has a lot of gain. It is competitive with anything in the 5 - 10k range, just depends if it suits your tastes.
