Conrad Johnson Et3? Anybody Have?

Happy Listening!

Hi,Heard the GAT at my friends house  the ET5 is very close the GAT is duel mono so it sounds even better.I had ARC for years SP8,Sp10 and SP15 with Great Northern sound mods this being said the ET5 to my ears is more musical.I had CJ Premier 5 tube amps great but to hot etc I'm running Pass 350.8 with Purist interconnect .I also had the first preamp that CJ made and loved it this preamp is more accurate but still very musical.Tube rolling will not make a very big difference i may try but CJ designs are based on the tube thats in there now don't know what that is but it sounds pretty good.I have Amperex 7308 gold pin,Teles,Amperex 6922.and Amperex pinched waist etc.Thanks enjoy.

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
