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

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.

EAR is fantastic, and yes I agree its overpriced by a few hundred dollars.

Best deal would be to buy it used for around a grand.

Iam from Germany and it is demo for 1000eu with new caps new Tdp valves + NOS Telefunken valves.Iam afraid just about one thing- mismatch of impendances because ussualy tube gear demands 100kohm and as Pass Power amp has only 15kohm...
