Originally intended as a tube/MOS FET hybrid, with a triode input stage, the 834T was put into production as all solid state. In fact, I was quite successful in running my current reference, the Altmann Micro Machines Attraction DAC, directly in using Kimber Select KS-1030 interconnect. Input sensitivity is sufficiently high to allow direct input from a CD player or DAC. The front panel is adorned by two controls: an input selector and a volume potentiometer. Both 4 and 8-Ohm output impedance taps are provided on the rear. It offers 100 wpc of transformer-coupled MOSFET power together with six line-level inputs and one tape output. The 834T is said to draw upon the design bases of both the all-tube model 834 and the M100 transistor monoblocks. Suffice it to say, the presence of output transformers is a pretty good indication that this is no conventional design. W hat is this EAR/Yoshino solid-state integrated amplifier doing in Toobman’ s listening room you ask? And why is he so enamored with its sound? Those are serious questions that will be answered in due time. Made in.UK, EnglandĬondition.Casting solid-state in the mold of tube amplification.

In opinion wise, some feel that the unit without the volume control is a just a little bit better overall, due to expected potentiometer coloration, but the prospect of doing away with normal pre-amp altogether might raise an eyebrow or two. As for vocals, they are smooth and well placed in space.Īvailable in 2 versions - With or without a volume control, i.e inbuilt preamp It’s a great soundstager, a strong defender of the analogue argument and the source of some of the sweetest bass. What distinguishes the 834P from solid-state phono stages is the sense of openness, scale and three-dimensionality. This little guy puts out a big sound, notably dynamic, with excellent rhythmic punch and drive on rock and jazz. Home > Catalog > Phono Amplifier > Sold Phono Amplifiers > EAR 834P
