Conrad Johnson Et3? Anybody Have?


Does anyone have an Et3 that they comment on the sound profile?

1) Is the preamp; ????
details galore, great soundstage & toneally " warm" or " cool"
highs are sweet?  Or more etched?
does it make CDs more listenable?  Etc

2) does tube rolling to a brimar or Millard type tube change its tone to the warm & soothing?  A big change or a little?  Etc

thanks in advance

im hoping the tubes & its profile make it warm & fatigue free with the usual CJ soundstage

Nice! ebm

I have always wanted to demo the CT-5 and ET-5 for good measure.
How many models did you audition prior to buying the ET-5 ?
why are you starting a new thread?  There are some pretty good reports on the previous.
Hello Jeff,

yes, I have spent time w/ both the ET-3 and ET-3SE models in a system;
Classic 60 amp, B&W 802D, Prima Luna cd player and Audioquest cabling/cords.  The sound is warm, excellent details, highs were sweet and a little etched, no issues playing CDs. 

Stock tubes all around, no tube rolling was performed. Auditioning was back in 2013.
