EAR 834p Tube Upgrade/Replacement


I have been told the primary tube to replace in the EAR 834p phono pre-amp is in the first position. Is the first position closest to the front of the unit? I have ordered some NOS RCA 12AX7 replacements tubes to try.

The ribbed plate Teles were just a soft as the smooth.

Yes I replaced all three positions with the Genalex tubes.

Sounds like you got some BAD/OLD ones. Did you get them off Ebay?
Placed 3 late 1960's RCA tubes in the EAR 834p and what a nice enhancement. The bass is has become outstanding and the sound overall is simply eloquent.
