E.A.R 834p. VS Graham Slee Reflex


Hello,
Iam buying my first phonocorrector ever and cant decide-E.A.R with NOS Telefunken Valves or Graham Slee Reflex.Speakers are WP8+Pass Labs xa30.5.
What do you think?

I love my Graham Slee Reflex. Using it with a Graham Slee Elevator for a low output moving coil (Lyra Titan) cart.
Go with the E.A.R. Tubes are the way to go on a Phono preamp! My friend had that E.A.R and he is sorry he sold it!
Ha! Just went through the same decision; let us know what you decide!

After reading every possible review on the web, I came to the conclusion that the EAR is probably $400 overpriced (maybe due to weak $)?

I've heard good things about the Graham Slee Reflex, but spoke to several that pointed me to the EAR over the Graham. The Avid Pulsus was also in the running.

Anyway, I just placed an order for the 834 with the Tele tubes - Just having a hard time with the upfront cost.
