Ear 834P and Dynavector p-75


I need a new phono pre. and would like to know if any has compared the 2. The p-75 is newer and has more adjustments. I have a Scout TT with a ORTOFON/KONTRAPUNKT B.

Thanks

Drubin,

The EAR834p you compared was that a "stock" version, or was it modified/upgraded in any way?

I am also considering one of these two phono amps for purchse. Wonder if the treble extension could be improved with some tube rolling.

Thanks for any further information.
It was the upgraded, chrome unit and I believe it had also been modified and had different tubes in it, but I don't recall the specifics.
I picked up the P-75 and had a little time with it. So far It sounds very good. I do feel that maybe they should put it in a bigger box with some weights. My remote is bigger than the P-75. Many adjustments to play with. I think the P-75 has less surface noise than the EAR 834p. This may be becouse of the adjustable loading. This will take some time to play with.

the reviewer basically was taken by it's transparency and it's no frills approach, not only physically but sonic wise. he was so taken by the performance of the phono enhancer that he indicated that he would be using the p-75 instead of his dynavector head amp that costs several times more.

i'd recommend that if you're interested in the p-75, you hit a newstand and read this review.
