I use a Motif MS 1001 power amp, which despite being over twenty years old sounds great. I think it will be a great match for the ET5.
Primaluna Dialogue Premium preamplifier vs Conrad Johnson ET5 (or CT5) preamplifier
I'm thinking about upgrading from the Primaluna Dialogue Premium to a Conrad Johnson ET5.
Do you think it's a smart move?
Would I be significantly better with the ET5?
Has anyone compared the ET5 to the CT5 in their system? Which do you prefer?

I completely agree with ghdprentice. I've had several pieces of Prima Luna equipment since they entered the industry. Most recently as pair of EVO 400 amp which I used a s monoblocks. Vintage tubes certainly helped improve the sound quality, but it never reached the level of musicality which my CJ equipment provides. As you can see in my signature photo, I am using CJ LP27M monoblock amps, CJ GAT S1 preamp, and a TEA1 S3 phono stage. I have no intentions of changing any of those out. |
@awise1961 Certainly the comparison with a GAT and a pair of LP275M is merciless and impossible for any Primaluna product, being in any case very distant also in terms of price ranges and market segment. I was wondering if even with a less valuable Et5 the argument of Conrad superiority remains valid. |
