Phono Stage: EAR 834P VS JLTi

Want to get you a'goners opinions on these two phono stages. My rig: Pro-Ject RM-9 w/ blackbird cartridge, NAD M3 integrated. I am auditioning the JLTi now, and I am very happy with it, but I keep wondering if I should have gone with the 834P. I had a bellari vp-129 before, and I liked the tube sound, although there is no comparison with the JLTi in terms of clarity and bass. I would appreciate any opinions on these two, especially in relation to my setup.

I am considering a phono stage, JLTi is is one of the first ones on my list, EAR834p needs to be modded to sound its best, I will probably get a used one and mod it myself. If you are using MC, JTLi is best since the 834 can really pick up, you will need an extra transformer...

I would say good choice!!
Relax and enjoy.
