Add Bob Devices CineMag SUT to EAR834P Deluxe


I have a chome EAR 834P Deluxe, which already includes an MC option. However, this CineMag has received great reviews. Using the EAR 834P in MM mode, in conjunction with a CineMag might be a worthwhile upgrade? What do folks think? I have a Shelter 501 MC cartridge.

I have not heard the CineMag, but own the EAR. If you did not follow this thread, check it out:

Personally, I would be careful about inserting another set of interconnects/jacks/wire/solder between your cartridge and preamp, with the hope of improving on what are already good SUT's in the EAR. I can tell you that a surefire upgrade would be to have the EAR upgraded with better caps/resistors by someone like Mitch Singerman. I had the mods done a few months ago, and I am extremely impressed with the results. I would bet that this would be a much more significant upgrade than using different external SUT's.
