 "Comunicato di Tim De 
Paravicini"
 "Desidero spiegare ai nostri clienti che noi facciamo tutto rigorosamente a mano 
con una cura pari alla costruzione di un violino o di un violoncello. Gli EAR 
912 come il CD e il nuovo 868 sono costruiti da me personalmente mentre i 
trasformatori sono fatti dai miei collaboratori sotto le mie precise ed accurate 
istruzioni. La costruzione di un EAR 912 necessita approssimativamente di un 
tempo 5 volte superiore a quello necessario per la costruzione di un EAR 864. Mi 
auguro quindi che i clienti capiscano che valga la pena aspettare per poi poter 
usufruire di vera musica" Grazie e buon ascolto Tim De Paravicini.Tim de 
Paravicini è uno dei più grandi progettisti ed ingegneri del suono del mondo, 
insomma una vera e propria leggenda del settore. Per chi non dovesse conoscerlo, 
farò una piccola cronologia della sua eccellente carriera. Dal 1965 Tim è 
coinvolto nel design e nella progettazione personalizzata di apparecchiature per 
complessi di rock & roll di artisti del calibro di George Harrison, Ry Cooder e 
Pink Floyd!!! che lo portarono ad essere scelto come collaboratore nelle 
registrazioni . Ciò che rese famoso Tim de Paravicini, e che lo portò ad entrare 
nell'olimpo dei progettisti di hi fi, fu la sua dedizione alla sperimentazione 
con risultati precisi e dimostrabili, e qui i vecchi appassionati di hi fi 
dovrebbero ricordare, con la realizzazione del XXAE XXB: due amplificatori, 
circuitalmente identici, dei quali il primo facente uso di triodi , quindi con 
progettazione valvolare, il secondo facente uso di transistors bipolari, quindi 
con progettazione stato solido. Con questi due oggetti, de Paravicini volle 
dimostrare la sua capacità nell’ utilizzare entrambe le tecnologie e volle anche 
dimostrare che i due oggetti portavano ad identici risultati sonici!!! Questo 
creò molto scalpore e scompiglio nel mondo dell'hi fi!!! Un impulso ulteriore al 
suo genio inventivo l'ha ricevuto quando si è spostato in Sud Africa 
dall'Inghilterra dove ha prodotto il primo amplificatore professionale venduto 
con il nome "de Paravicini". E' in occasione dell'incontro con la Luxman 
Corporation che, nel 1972, viene invitato ad Osaka, in Giappone, dove gli fu 
offerto di lavorare come designer audio. Da questa nuova sinergia venne alla 
luce il famoso preamplificatore e amplificatore di potenza C 1000/M6000. Nel 
1976 Tim rientra in Inghilterra e lavora inizialmente con ALBARadio Corporation 
e la Tangent Loudspeakers e collabora con la famosa ditta inglese Michaelson & 
Austin. Nell'arco di un anno fonda l' Esoteric Audio Research Ltd e 
commercializza l'EAR 509: 100 Watt di amplificatori monofonici a valvole. 
Sviluppa un circuito di interfaccia a valvole chiamato "Balanced Bridge Mode", 
una modalità bilanciata a ponte dove gli elettrodi hanno trasformatori in uscita 
in tredici sezioni a doppio avvolgimento. Inoltre, caratteristica degli 
amplificatori Paravicini è di essere privi di feedback complessivo. Tecnicamente 
questo amplificatore ha dato prova in laboratorio di rendere come un transistor 
con un' ampiezza di banda passante di 9-85.000 Hz a -3db. Negli ultimi 30_anni, 
dal 1976 ad oggi, Tim ha realizzato un ampio catalogo di convertitori sia 
analogici che digitali (per la masterizzazione di CD) oltre a componenti 
personalizzati dedicati alla registrazione per artisti famosi. Basandosi sul 
classico circuito EAR509, nel 1985 ha introdotto un nuovo sistema che ottiene 
una maggiore dinamica con un segnale/rumore di 65db che avvicina la qualità 
sonora a quella dei nastri master. Solo per citarne alcuni ,ha prodotto 
l'entusiasmante Al, la cui unica concessione è quella di lavorare a 10 Watt in 
uscita in pura classe A, l'A 470/370, il p270, il CD T, etc. Attualmente, in 
Europa, vediamo rinascere l'interesse per l'amplificazione a valvole e molte 
ditte emergenti senza una solida conoscenza nel campo della progettazione e 
realizzazione hanno cercato di imitare i prodotti di Tim senza le necessarie 
competenze: il risultato è un suono povero, privo di ampiezza e con problemi 
evidenti di distorsione nelle seconde armoniche. L'attenta progettazione 
proiettata verso innovazioni migliorative non lascia dubbi: ad un ascolto 
attento i prodotti EAR non temono confronti. In breve tempo la EAR è riuscita a 
farsi un nome tra gli appassionati di valvole, creando quella sorta di mistero e 
leggenda che si cela dietro il suo progettista
  There are very few modern 
designers in the audio field who can claim as much as de Paravicini. No aspect 
of the recording and reproduction chain has been left untouched, no aspect of 
circuit design not further researched and developed. As early as 1965 Tim was 
involved in custom design work for rock and roll bands; manufacturing his own 
public address equipment, and modifying existing studio equipment to realise 
even greater potential. A move to South Africa from England saw a further 
development of his own unique design genius, and the launch of his own 
professional amplifier product, sold simply as “de Paravicini”. While working in 
South Africa, Tim had a chance meeting with representatives of the Lux 
Corporation, and in 1972 was invited back to Osaka, Japan, and offered a job as 
audio designer. Tim soon put together some very interesting designs for Lux, 
including the remarkable C1000/M6000 pre/power amplifier combination. One of his 
own favourite designs from this period was the Luxman 3045 tube mono block. At 
the time, this was the only mono block design available in the audio field, and 
backed up de Paravicini’s preference for locating the power amplifiers close to 
the loudspeakers. Tim also designed the actual output tube for this amplifier, 
the 8045 power tube. As always with his designs, the output transformer was a 
custom de Paravicini design. In 1976 de Paravicini returned to England, and very 
quickly made an impact as a design consultant, initially working with the ALBA 
Radio Corporation, and Tangent Loudspeakers. Tim was also responsible for the 
later ranges of Michealson and Austin tube amplifiers, including the TVA10 and 
M200 mono blocks. Within a year, he had set up Esoteric Audio Research Ltd., and 
was marketing the remarkable EAR 509 100 watt professional tube mono block power 
amplifiers. He developed a unique output transformer/tube interface circuit 
called “balanced bridge mode”, in which all the electrodes (except the control 
grids) have their own separate windings on the thirteen-section, biflar wound, 
output transformer. In addition, the amplifier has no overall feedback, 
something of a de Paravicini trade mark. Technically this amplifier proved that 
tubes are capable of performing equally as well as transistors in a laboratory, 
with a specification that included a power bandwidth of 9-85,000 Hz, -3dB, and 
also proved that tubes are capable of better things than the “retro” sound some 
manufacturers look for. Subjectively the 509 amplifiers were a big hit. Although 
aimed at the professional market, several Hi-Fi magazines picked up on the 509’ss, 
and compared them to the then State of the Art domestic High End equipment. The 
fact the 509 beat all of the competition at the time helps explain why the 509 
is still in production today. the 509 was designed by de Paravicini to have no 
sound; trying to sum up the 509 is hard, it does not offer the warm 
‘comfortable’ tonal quality which so often mark most tube amplifiers out. They 
are remarkably clear, transparent, with firm realistic bass, effortless top end, 
detailed and very alive. In the twenty years since 1976, Tim has designed a 
mammoth catalogue of Hi-Fi and Studio components, both for Esoteric Audio 
Research and for other domestic audio companies. Currently the ‘E.A.R.@ 
professional product range includes a tube capacitor microphone, built with a 
rectangular gold spluttered capsule. A design which easily betters the classic 
European designs. Tube microphone preamplifiers, tube equalisers, record cutting 
systems, analogue to digital converters (for CD mastering) plus custom 
components and servicing for some of the Worlds most famous recording artists. 
His is most famous in the studio industry for the stunning analogue tube master 
tape recorders. These units have very special custom designed heads, and are 
capable of digital levels of signal to noise ratio, with a bandwidth in excess 
of 8Hz to 80,000Hz! Work for the recording industry has brought critical acclaim. 
On the ‘Waterlily’ label, “A Meeting by the River” received a prestigious 
‘Grammy’ award for its sound quality. This was a mid/side technique recording 
using a pair of crossed microphones. Waterlily’s microphones, preamplifiers, 
analogue master recorder and A/D converter were all built and designed by Tim. 
In 1985, de Paravicini introduced his new record cutting system. Now installed 
at ‘The Exchange’ in the heart of London, (originally Island Records ‘Sound 
Clinic’ facility). This is phase corrected, and uses in excess of 1,000 watts of 
tube audio power, based on the classic EAR 509 circuit. The cutter head is again, 
a custom design, and is capable of cutting deeper, wider grooves than any other 
system. The result is higher dynamics, with a true signal to noise ratio in 
excess of 65 dB from records pressed off a master cut on this system. It is 
truly as close to the original master tape as it is physically possible to get. 
Throughout the past twenty years, Tim has worked with many different 
manufacturers. For London based Musical Fidelity, Tim designed the amazing A1, 
taking the concept of a cut down ‘High End’ audiophile amplifier, the only 
compromise being the 10 watts output, albeit pure class ‘A’. Other products 
designed for ‘M.F.’ include the A470/370, P270, Digilog, CD-T, etc. More 
recently in Europe, the ‘Tube Scene’ in domestic audio has really taken off. A 
lot of European manufacturers have stolen both older European designs, and 
designs from Japanese magazines and journals. Most of these amplifiers are very 
poor sounding, and terribly unreliable. These manufacturers neither understand 
the designs or how to build them. They use the reputation of tubes to sell their 
poor, none original product. De Paravicini’s answer to these companies, was the 
award winning EAR 859 amplifier. His all new Enhanced Triode Mode circuit 
bettering the performance of directly heated triodes designs. It provided the 
public with a real design, from a professional maker. The EAR 834P phono stage 
was also introduced, and similar to the ‘859 has proved very popular, offering 
un-rivalled performance per dollar. The particular speciality being the stunning 
Moving Coil stage transformers - transformer design being one of Tim de 
Paravicini’s fortes - unlike most manufacturers, who just buy in ‘off-the-peg’ 
transformer designs or just specify the most basic requirement to an outside 
supplier.  All EAR amplifiers are truly original, including the custom 
transformer, metal work, circuit printed cicuit board. All the work of Tim de 
Paravicini. Tim de Paravicini works by a simple premises: If he designs it, it 
must be a better design than anything else, or he will not manufacture it. His 
sole goal is taking audio to the furthest possible point of development. Current 
research is taking him further along this path than any single competitor.

PCC88   Tim de Paravicini has been 
credited by many with starting the valve renaissance in England. Tim, who has 
worked around all corners of the globe, has unique ideas and designs, are a ''clean 
sheet'' break from the designs of old. Too many of his competitors use old, 
tired designs to flavour the sound, and do not seek to advance the state of the 
art.  The EAR 859 was designed to be ''the best'' Single-Ended Triode amplifier 
on the market. Tim as always, was keen to cut a new path through the forest and 
ignored the week and vulnerable, inferior and obsolete direct heated triodes (such 
as the 300B). He based his design on his favorite valve, the 6KG6/EL519, 
developing a new operating mode called Enhanced Triode Mode, or ETM for short. 
This revolutionary new circuit cleverly tied the control grid (G1) to the 
cathode, removing the potential difference between the two, and fed the control 
signal into the screen grid (G2). This gave better, more linear results than 
directly heated triodes, with the added advantages of high anode power rating, 
good valve availability and maximum reliability.  This was put together in a 
DC-connected, low feedback pure Class ''A'' circuit, that automatically 
compensates for valve spread, maintaining excellent, reliable, sound quality for 
an extended period of time. The proof of the pudding is in the eating, and the 
EAR 859 does not disappoint. It has that unique valve sound, but without the 
usual single-ended ''mush''. All of Tim de Paravicini�s designs bear the 
influence of his experience designing and using professional products, and this 
clearly shows. Hi-fi reviewers around the world have acclaimed the EAR 859 as, 
to quote one South African Magazine, ''The finest Integrated Valve Amp we have 
ever heard.'' In England, Ken Kessler of Hi-Fi News summed up his review by 
saying ''yes, yes, yes, yes,'' and even in Japan, the world's most diverse and 
intense market, the '859 has won critical acclaim from Japan's most prestigious 
hi-fi magazine ''Stereo Sound''. It was honoured so highly as to be nominated 
for the ''Component of the Year'' (COTY) award, and was highly commended; an 
outstanding achievement for a 13 watt single-ended valve amplifier

Integrato a valvole con uscita pre per bi-aplificazione 50 W 2 X ECC83, 2 X 
ECC85, 8 X 8L6  The EAR 8L6 has been designed to 
meet a wide variety of needs, from the most demanding of audiophiles to the 
professional seeking high quality monitoring equipment in the studio field. The 
circuit design uses push-pull output and driver stages, a high quality 
in-house-designed output transformer and low negative feedback. Tube life is 
long (and replacement costs modest) and the circuit operates in pure Class A. An 
unusual feature of the 8L6 is that it can be used as an integrated amplifier or 
as separate preamplifier and power amplifier. This is selected using the switch 
at the rear of the unit marked 'Pre/power split on'. In integrated amplifier 
mode the front panel source selector works in the usual way to select any of the 
five inputs available on the rear. No connection is required between the 'Pre 
out' sockets and the 'Power amp in' sockets. In pre-main mode the (passive) 
preamplifier section is disconnected internally from the power amplifier section, 
requiring an external connection between the 'Pre out' sockets and the 'Power 
amp in' sockets. This facility is provided to allow the user the option of 
connecting a signal processor such as an equaliser between the pre and power 
sections. An additional benefit is that the 'Pre out' sockets remain active when 
the 8L6 is in integrated mode, so that a second 8L6 (or other amplifier of 
similar gain) can be used 'slaved' to the main one for bi-amping. .gif)

 Amplificatore integrato a valvole 50 W a 
valvole: (6 xEL84, 5x ECC82 per canale)  The V12, the latest brainchild 
of Tim de Paravicini, is a completely new concept in valve amplifier design. 
Forget other more conventional designs - the V12 is a totally "clean sheet of 
paper" design. The output valves are indirectly heated EL84/6BQ5 pentodes, 6 per 
channel. The parallel push-pull class "A" circuit features Pentode Mode. This 
circuit provides superb linearity and very low distortion. In addition, the V12 
uses Tim de Paravicini's highly developed Balanced Bridge Mode, a custom 
ultra-wide bandwidth output transformer, and no overall feedback. The key design 
goals for the V12 were to extend frequency response at both ends of the spectrum, 
improve low-level detail, and provide perfect loudspeaker coupling. All have 
been successfully achieved, along with superb reliability from the low-priced 
Pentode output valves. The amplifier is perfectly stable into any load, and will 
offer years of reliable service.The circuit is not the V12's only unique feature; 
the casework is also unique. Tim wanted a more natural, harmonious look to his 
new amplifier, something less aggressive than traditional designs with their 
exposed, industrial looking transformers, hard angles, and valves sticking up in 
the air. The fascia is rounded, in a half-moon shape, with the left and right 
channel valves positioned on opposing sides of the top of the chassis. The V12's 
finish is exemplary, with wood-capped valve covers, chrome fascia, and 
gold-plated control knobs.  The name V12 was inspired by Tim's passion for the 
classic Jaguar V12 engine. Tim decided to use 6 EL84's per channel in the new 
circuit. Comparisons to the best motor car engine in the world are valid, for 
this amplifier is so very smooth and sophisticated. There is very little to give 
the V12 away as a valve amplifier. Its openness, speed and authority are beyond 
comparison. Seeing and hearing is believing. The amplifier is 50 watts per 
channel, has 5 line inputs, and can be connected to any loudspeaker load from 4 
to 16 ohms. It is perfectly stable into any load, and will offer years of 
reliable service. Specification Power Output - 50 watts per channels 20Hz to 20

naturally using de Paravicini�s famed input transformers for lowest noise and 
highest fidelity. MC input impedance is adjustable internally.The inclusion of a 
volume control allows for direct connection to a power amp in one-source systems. 
To avoid cable-dependent high frequency response, a highly linear buffer stage 
follows the volume control, using an output transformer which provides balanced

energy than Moving Magnet but has the great disadvantage that its voltage ouput 
is not really practical for most amplifier technology to handle it. So if we 
take its product of voltage times current and transform it to a suitable form 
for most amplifiers to handle it we then find that we actually have gained an

is designed to complement any of the EAR 834P phono preamplifiers and an EAR 
power amplifier or, indeed, any other high quality source or power amplifier. It 
has facilities for up to five line inputs, and offers a genuine tape monitoring 
circuit, making a total of six inputs. A high quality volume control is fitted, 
as well as a panel mounted power switch. Input and output terminals are gold 
plated. Designed by Tim de Paravicini in his usual robust style, the EAR 834L is 
the perfect match for any high end system, whether biased towards analogue or 
digital. The electronic architecture is minimalist, so that the absolute minimum 
sonic degradation takes place. There are three double triode valves, arranged in 
a classic 'de Paravicini circuit'. Special attention has been given to the input 
circuitry. All inputs are at the rear of the chassis, on the same circuit board 
as the selector switches, which are operated remotely by long control shafts. 
The power supply is a unique arrangement; a high quality toridal transformer 
feeds a double DC power supply, that provides the low-tension (LT) heater 
current, and the high-tension (HT) anode voltage. It is critical in a 
preamplifier that both the HT and LT supplies are pure DC, and free from AC 
ripple. This is the case with all EAR products, not just this preamplifier. The 
circuit is designed used in such a way as to have a minimum life of five years* 
continuous operation for the valves. The preamplifier has more than enough 
output for any power amplifier, transistor or valve, and is ideal for driving 
long interconnect cables to remotely located power amplifiers. The unit is 
available in Classic and Deluxe specification. Deluxe builds on the Classic's 
specification with a superior chrome and gold finish, with extra outputs to 
facilitate bi-amping systems, and a neon power monitor light.  *Discounting

years and if that wasn’t enough, it’s good to know that its designed and made in 
England.The EAR 868 has been designed to meet the needs of a wide variety of users, from 
the most demanding of audiophiles to the professional seeking high-quality 
monitoring equipment in the studio. It is based on the circuit designs used in 
the highly successful EAR 912 studio-grade pre-amp. Like the 912, the 868 
features two pairs of balanced outputs and one pair of balanced inputs, all 
coupled via high-quality transformers The low distortion, low noise line stage 
is coupled to the outside world via transformers, giving the option of balanced 
or unbalanced connection.  As with all EAR products reliability and practicality 
are key priorities and to this end all components have been selected and rated 
for long and trouble-free service. All 4 valves are PCC88s, a type noted for 
good performance and  which will be around for servicing in the long-distant 
future. And unlike many of our competitors� phono pre-amps there is no separate 
power supply box to deal with - careful design ensures that hum is kept at bay

Preamplificatore a valvole di riferimento con doppio ingresso phono MM/MC 
completamente regolabili, 2 ingressi sbilanciati più tape, 3 ingressi bilanciati 
XLR, trasformatori di uscita, VU Meter per il controllo del segnale in uscita  For over 20 years, Tim de 
Paravicini's EAR brand name has been associated with valve amplifiers of 
legendary quality and reliability. Classics such as the 500-series power 
amplifiers, the 802 preamp, and more recently the V20 integrated amp and the 
800-series 'Enhanced Triode Mode' models are among the most prestigious hi-fi 
products ever made and have attracted praise and awards the world over.Although 
Tim de Paravicini has been designing transistor-based circuits since the days of 
the very first commercial transistors, he has never before produced a 
solid-state amplifier under his own flag. But now, after years of breaking with 
everyone else's traditions, he has broken with his own and produced the 312 
Control Centre, a fully-featured preamp which redefines the world of solid-state 
just as EAR amplifiers have done for the world of valves. Taking into account 
the current growth in the number of sources in many hi-fi systems, the 312 
offers no less than eight inputs, three of which are balanced and 
transformer-coupled. What's more, there are six outputs: three each balanced and 
unbalanced, and because they are also transformer-coupled it is perfectly 
possible to use both types simultaneously (for instance in multi-amped systems) 
without upsetting the balanced outputs. This means that six stereo power 
amplifiers can be driven at once.As you would expect from an EAR product, the 
phono input also features transformer coupling for moving coil cartridges, 
ensuring the lowest possible noise, and in order to ensure very high overload 
headroom and complete stability the RIAA equalization of the phono stage uses an 
inductor in a unique EAR circuit configuration. The basic amplifying circuit 
uses just three transistors in a single-ended configuration, a 'valve-like' 
approach that harnesses the gain of the transistors in such a way as to give 
sound of unequalled sweetness and clarity. Complete compatibility with other 
equipment is achieved through the very high input and output headroom of all 
circuits, plus their low noise. Again drawing on de Paravicini's expertise in 
the field of transformers and inductors, the power supply uses a choke input 
filter to give very low noise and ripple, and very low dependency on the purity 
of the incoming electricity supply: it also generates very low levels of 
interference on the household supply without requiring any additional 
suppression components. Simple and intuitive operation has always been a feature 
of EAR products, and to this end the 312 uses a very high quality and high 
accuracy volume control with a conventional single-turn range, in conjunction 
with a unique meter-like scale which clearly indicates circuit gain. Channel 
balance is maintained to close tolerances right down to whisper-quiet levels. 
Finally, it should be hardly necessary to mention that like all EAR products the 
312 is built to the highest standards and immaculately finished so that it looks 
as good as it sounds. It will set standards for a long time to come.

 EAR890 Amplificatore 
stereo a valvole da 70 watt (140 W mono) valvole KT90   The 800 series of amplifiers 
from EAR has received widespread and consistent acclaim from users and reviewers 
the world over. However, feedback from some quarters suggested that there was a 
need for an amplifier with similar sonic prowess but just a little more power.Taking 
as a starting point the circuits used in the 834 integrated amplifier, Tim de 
Paravicini has addressed that need by producing the 890 power amplifier. Using 
the innovative KT90 valve from EI, he has been able to offer 70W of clean 
Class-A audio from the same chassis as the 834. One of the few new valve designs 
of the last 30 years, the KT90 draws on the strengths of the EL509 valve (as 
used in many EAR amplifiers) and is capable of sustained high power operation 
with great reliability. Two pairs per channel are hardly stressed in the EAR 
890.Features include balanced inputs (transformer-coupled) as well as unbalanced, 
separate level controls for each channel, and the option of flexible mono-block 
operation to deliver 140W into a wide range of loudspeaker loads. Build quality 
and finish are to EAR's usual high standards, with a distinctive touch of luxury 
in the thick brass front panel, heavily chromed and polished to a mirror finish. 
Reliability is assured and there are no user adjustments.And the sound? All the 
EAR trademarks are there: beautifully natural midrange and treble, superb stereo 
imaging, and of course extended but perfectly proportioned bass, with the extra 
power raising the roof even further than our earlier models.

e configurazione   atipica, la coppia   Tim de Paravicini established 
EAR in 1979, since when the brand has been renowned worldwide for the finest 
valve (tube) amplifiers. But in 2000 the tradition was broken with the 
Paravicini 312 transistor preamplifier, now joined by the M100 transistor power 
amplifier. To anyone familiar with EAR/Yoshino products, it will come as no 
surprise that this is no ordinary transistor amplifier. Designed explicitly to 
provide a 'valve-like' sound from transistors, it uses de Paravicini's 
unrivalled expertise in audio transformer design to the full, with a unique 
single-ended output stage coupled to the load through an output transformer. 
Being single ended, the M100 naturally operates entirely in Class A, with all 
that that implies for clarity and purity of sound. High reliability is assured 
by the use of multiple parallel output transistors, with adequate heatsink area 
for any climate (no noisy cooling fans), and the essential simplicity of the 
audio circuit helps with both sonic and reliability aspects. A choke-input power 
supply gives maximum immunity to mains supply variations and also prevents the 
amplifier from corrupting the mains supply in turn. With an output power of 100W 
the M100 has the ability to drive almost any loudspeakers to symphony-orchestra 
levels. For the discerning listener, it offers new heights in sonic attainment.

 L’amplificatore per cuffia  
HP4 Amplificatore per Cuffia a valvole: 4 X 6SL7  Tim de Paravicini has long had a 
worldwide reputation for valve preamplifiers and power amplifiers. Now he has 
applied his expertise to produce what is arguably the world's finest headphone 
amplifier aimed at the highest quality dynamic headphones. The HP4 uses 6SL7 
valves, properly matched to the load through de Paravicini's renowned 
transformers, to deliver nearly 1W of high quality, low distortion power into 
high or low impedance headphones. The output circuit configuration uses de 
Paravicini's 'Enhanced Triode Mode', as employed in the highly successful V20 
and 859 integrated amplifiers, while the input is also transformer coupled, 
giving the flexibility to accept balanced or unbalanced signals from the 
preamplifier. For the greatest user convenience the HP4 has its own volume 
control, while input signals can be independently switched through to the power 
amplifier for headphone and/or loudspeaker listening. As with all EAR products, 
reliability is paramount and  valve life is in excess of 10,000 hours. It has 
facilities for up to five line inputs, and offers a genuine tape monitoring 
circuit, making a total of six inputs. A high quality volume control is fitted, 
as well as a panel mounted power switch. Input and output terminals are gold 
plated. Designed by Tim de Paravicini in his usual robust style, the EAR 834L is 
the perfect match for any high end system, whether biased towards analogue or 
digital. The electronic architecture is minimalist, so that the absolute minimum 
sonic degradation takes place. There are three double triode valves, arranged in 
a classic 'de Paravicini circuit'. Special attention has been given to the input 
circuitry. All inputs are at the rear of the chassis, on the same circuit board 
as the selector switches, which are operated remotely by long control shafts. 
The power supply is a unique arrangement; a high quality toridal transformer 
feeds a double DC power supply, that provides the low-tension (LT) heater 
current, and the high-tension (HT) anode voltage. It is critical in a 
preamplifier that both the HT and LT supplies are pure DC, and free from AC 
ripple. This is the case with all EAR products, not just this preamplifier. The 
circuit is designed used in such a way as to have a minimum life of five years* 
continuous operation for the valves. The preamplifier has more than enough 
output for any power amplifier, transistor or valve, and is ideal for driving 
long interconnect cables to remotely located power amplifiers. The unit is 
available in Classic and Deluxe specification. Deluxe builds on the Classic's 
specification with a superior chrome and gold finish, with extra outputs to 
facilitate bi-amping systems, and a neon power monitor light.  *Discounting 
occasional random premature failure of valves.
