| MY Sonic Lab - Ultra Eminent BC LOMC cart Note:1) Before full breaking in, Ultra Eminent BC may sound harsh and edgy. Mine took around 50-100 hours to stablize and it sounds sweet, smooth, detailed and extended for the rest of its life. It would be a silly mistake to any dumping decision ... | |
| Does EAR324 phono stage sound like tubes ? >>>I used to have the EAR 324. I would not say that the 324 is very quiet. It is somehow quiet, but it is not very quiet. When the 324 was in my system, I could hear some hum if I turned the volume all they way up, without music of course... | |
| Does EAR324 phono stage sound like tubes ? Nolitan, actually I agree with you. OK, to make it clear...I have three separate TT/arm setups and any three of my carts ready to play at all time. Shelter 901 & Denon DL-103SA is mainly responsible for records with poorer surface conditions. ... | |
| Does EAR324 phono stage sound like tubes ? Thanks for sharing, Nolitan.In my system, I do prefer the two transducers(cart and speakers)play the major role in establishing the so-called sonic signature(that's why I may keep buying more carts to "refresh" my system). In this case, turntable,... | |
| Does EAR324 phono stage sound like tubes ? Those NOS Ei(A-frame) were no longer produced. Tim didn't tell me where to source them. Look for Amperex Philips PCC88 (A-frame) you may find they looks very similar. Q: In what ways does the tele better the stock tubes even just the two front tub... | |
| Does EAR324 phono stage sound like tubes ? NolitanI was told by Tim those are NOS Ei (A-frame)using Philips Holland technology. Without comparison to Telefunken/Siemens, yes they sound quite good already. Q: V1 & V2 seems like those have to be matched. How about V3 and V4 ?They run in ... | |
| Does EAR324 phono stage sound like tubes ? Nolitan, here's they are:V1, V2 & V4: NOS Telefunken PCC88 <> bottomsV3: NOS Siemens PCC88 (branded Telefunken) I handpicked from my collections and matched them closely by myself. The sonic improvements over stock tubes are stunningly g... | |
| Does EAR324 phono stage sound like tubes ? Typo: ...OTL ampa and ESL speakers(Not Quad ESL). | |
| Does EAR324 phono stage sound like tubes ? "Grainy" is always a sign of poor synergy which represents somehow something wrong in the system. This could be too much transistors in the chain, or a wrong choice of speakers and cables, etc. With OTL amps and Quad ESL, I truly believe 324 shoul... | |
| Does EAR324 phono stage sound like tubes ? Nolitan,I have MY Sonic Lab Stage 302(for 1-6 ohm) and Phase Tech T-3(for Shelter 901, it's cheapy miracle match!)VBR Dan | |
| Does EAR324 phono stage sound like tubes ? Lewm, we should investigate what other gears and the characteristics of the listening room in which Ken Kessler auditioned for that particular review. Do you have any ideas as I couldn't find anything of it yet? Art Dudley seemed to have used one ... | |
| Does EAR324 phono stage sound like tubes ? The synergy is so ideal with 88PB in the combo, always offers the magic of tubes and neutrality, stability of hybrid design using JET, PCC88s and output transformers. With Ultra Eminent, the presentations being so dynamic, transparent, full of nat... | |

| Does EAR324 phono stage sound like tubes ? Lewm, after reading your post, I browsed for Art Dudley's... As mentioned in previous posts, I also experienced some hum problem with the 324 that I couldn't possibly get rid of during audition. The hum and overall noise level was NOT really annoy... | |
| Vintage Thorens turntable -Good or Bad? What makes this a wonderful hobby is we can use different combo within our own budget to get our own audio nirvana. I don't think it's a lemon as long as it's still in good shape...at a reasonable price. It will be a disaster if we incline to use ... |
