GAT versus ET-5 Conrad Johnson preamps


I own an ET-5 Conrad Johnson preamp for 7 years now, and I love it! I wonder if a GAT CJ preamp would be much better. Has anyone compared ET-5 and GAT preamps?

@portoalegre Have you decided to stick with the ET5 after comparing it to the GAT? Or have you just given up on buying a GAT? Are you happy with the ET5?

FWIW, I just saw this old thread and as it happens, I started my CJ journey with an ET5, which I owned and loved for perhaps 3-4 years.  Then I traded for a GAT 2, which I owned and loved for perhaps 4=5 years.  Now I own an ART 88, which I've owned since it was introduced perhaps 3 years ago.  Because of the passage of time, I can't offer a detailed comparison, but I can offer that each move up was made after a period of perhaps a month of time in my home to compare the old with the new and that in each case I felt that the improvement was substantial.  With that said, I have never heard any CJ powered system, old or new, that was not very easy on the ears.  Over time CJ equipment has improved in neutrality and detail retrieval without losing musicality.
