Doge 8 and Conrad Johnson ET-3


Has anyone heard both of these units at one time or another. How would you compare/contrast them, and describe their sound. From what I've read, it sounds as if the Doge would be more neutral and less warm than the CJ, with the CJ being a little more on the warm/lush side of things. I've heard the CJ and liked the warmth that I heard. Any truth to my thinking?

Is there no one who has listened to either of these preamps extensively at one time or another?
Rower, GBMcleod, Thanks for your experiences with the CJ. This proves people prefer different sounds in their systems. I heard the CJ and actually liked it. So the Doge sound is the question for me.
I know I started this thread, supposedly trying to decide between the Doge and the CJ. However, my research pointed me in another direction completely, and I am now awaiting the arrival of a Dehavilland Ultraverve 3. I was offered a price I simply could not pass up, so I went for it. We shall see what happens.
