    Excuse me if I'm wrong, but isn't the EAR 834 over six thousand dollars?

    The EAR 834 is the cheapie version which can be had for about $1600 on Audigon. The EAR 324 is the $6K version (it is solid state) and I would easily take one of those. The EAR 88PB is the grown-up tube phonostage for $6K.

    There is an EAR 834P (which is the Phono stage), an EAR 834L (A linestage) and an EAR 834 (Integrated Amp). All are different pieces...don't ask me why it is named that way...confusion city.

    The EAR amp at the meet looked like the pretty expensive (6k+) version?

    There were 2 EAR amps setup for headphone listening, one was the EAR 834 Integrated that sells for $6300 or so. The other was the EAR HP4 headphone amplifier that is around $6k as well.
