Thanks for the reply, Jonathan.I do clean my records with a VPI but I believe that the EAR has issues with noise. I've noticed it, as have others I've talked to. Its no big deal to me really as most of my records are in great shape and I keep them clean, however its still an issue that I was hoping these mods Thorsten listed might address.

Hi Bryan,Now that you and Jonathan brought up this subject. I did noticed when I installed my external overkill PS for the EAR, that on a couple of records that I thought I was hearing end-track distortion , didn't have that type of distortion/sound anymore. However, I don't recall getting the impression that surface noise was greatly reduced. I guess my set-up was already low in surface noise in the first place. I hope this helps.
Best Regards,
Bill
Hi,I have NOT myself noticed any particular tendency of the EAR to emphasise record noise as such, HOWEVER I have a suspicion that this may very well have been the issues one of the Aquaintances commented on as "The EAR being noisy", which I took to mean electrically noisy. The modds to the unit are reported to have improved this.
Given that I myself never specifically noticed this I cannot further comment. But I have rather clean records and in addition have never used the EAR on any long term basis, even modded it is not THAT good.... ;-)

Thorsten,There are number of noised within analog. They heave the distinctly different natures and differently perceived by a listener. Certain ELECTRONIC decisions COULD affect the perception of the mechanic noise coming from record.
