Any Experience With Conrad Johnson ET3 Preamp?


Hi

Was wondering about this new entry level preamp which is supposedly a baby GAT.

Does anyone have any experience with it? There don;t seem to be any reviews as yet. Was thinking of perhaps matching it with a Krell power amp.

Thanks

It is more detailed for sure and sounds more like SS pre amp ( it's output stage is FET anyways ). I had to tone it ( harshness) down replacing input stage 6922 EH with Amperex USP CEN 6922.It was surely needed. It is still very detailed compared to Classic and definitely a worth upgrade. My comparison point is with classic SE.
Bought used ET3SE from audiomart , this is definitely not past break in period yet. Comparing it my earlier classic SE earlier, it sounds more detailed. Classic sounds better for now but I will reserve my judgement for post break in period, will report back.
