I would be interested in what the mods were for a Rega Ear?

i pretty much agree with that....the midband has more get up and go and better depth and central image focus than the 640....more guts and drama.
i'll try to get a fuller write up this week....i'm a bit busy 'not earning £40,000 a year' at the moment....
oh and i am using it as a mm stage at the mo....
I would be interested to know what work was suggested Jez perform free of charge?
I hope you are going to do ABX DBT to prove that you are not imagining the improvement

I thought all phono stages sound the same? can you supply mesurements for old and modified to back up that statment ?

steven i always volume match when comparing...this new modded stage has lower noise and tighter bass and better depth.....if i thought you were actually interested in vinyl i'd record the differences so you could hear it for yourself....but you are not.
i'm sure jez did what he needed to do when designing the upgrade....
i thought you were an admirer of boutique customised gear, why the attempts at derailing this thread, or did i miss the winky smiley?

I would love to hear the comparison as I am toying with the idea of this mod myself.
A loaner demo unit will be available very soon Maybe if you live somewhere near Darryl or Mike you could ask one of them if it would be convenient for them to let you hear theirs?
it has lower noise it's quite easy to hear.
jez did mention superior burr brown things and better gain structures etc etc....that sounds like sensible engineering to me....
OOh yes drop in the Burr Brown buzz word yes sounds very technicaljez did mention superior burr brown things
Ho Ho Ho! No and no (well yes but what would be the point?)
I seem to be branded an objectivist on this forum me thinks!
I vehemently deny it your honour!
There are huge differences between things that can sound different!
And none between things that would be breaking the laws of physics if they did produce a difference that was detectable and repeatable.
And that's where that discussion ends.... for me anyway. Plenty of threads on mains cables, interconnects, supports etc elsewhere.
As it happens, phono stages are where the biggest audible differences exist in amplification! And for sound technical reasons... (obviously a dodgy SET with 1 Watt output and 10% distortion would sound erm.... "different" but that's another matter entirely!)
If its easy to hear then it must be measurable using a noise spectrum signal analiser yes?.
