Well, thanks for that very informative and abrasive response invictus. Does you keyboard have tourettes? I had the 834p for years and found that it is not state of the art. I did do some mods including power cord, caps, resistors and some others I don't recall. The 834P sounded very good. I purchased a ASR phono pre which also makes music. The bottom line is that the 834P sounds great and has been around for many years.
