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

Yes,a new thread

 A few have "listened" to them, but I am interested in someone who owns one and has listened too over the months.
I've seen a lot of sold one's, but I have not seen a lot kept for long term.
I've listened to it and came away "questioning" the warmth of tone. But, It was probably the system I listened to it with.

Tube rolling is,another big question

Ebm;

Very nice; Teflon caps and all!

Have you had it long enough to make any Sound Quality evaluations?
It Very similar to ET3, but smoother highs when I listened

1) have you tried any tube rolling?
2) what are you running it with?

A buddy that has a GAT
& Your system that is very special 

I'm afraid to ask what speakers you are using with your Pass 350.8!!!   Lots of current in the amp!

I bet it does sound beautiful!
I think you have made up my mind, finally ,on preamps. I heard the ET3 & ET5 side by side and the Teflon made a difference but both are of similar sound.
It usually is always better to stick with mfg that have been doing it for a while

Only the Magico Q3
you are a cheap sucker!!!!!       Lol

You have to take a picture and post your system!!

Furtech is good stuff
I'm about to add Furtech power cable for Preamp from VH Audio
I already use the Hot Box and is pretty sweet

jeff

ps: where you at?  

Cool;

How do you like the "all" Furtech stuff?
What kind of sound profile are you seeing?
I will also look at Purist IC, I have not heard of them, till now

by the way;  the TW AC3 turntable system is sweet looking with the copper platter
i bet it sounds great!
true Analog

vinyl does sound the best
