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 did not do a lot of research on the deluxe vs std. Would be interesting.

From reading post, I can see how others perceive preamps which are more analytical compared to the ear now that I am listening to it.

Unfortunately it's a pain in the a*s for me to trade many units in and out to test. In the end, I choose the ear because of the "softer" sound.

That said,I really like the results (but maybe I don't know what I'm missing).
Abp689- I also would like to know the differences, beside $1895 vs. $2595.
So far I know the RCA connectors are better quality on the Deluxe version.
Then of course the obvious, which is the cost of the fancy faceplate.
