Jax, also consider ET2 Alan Sircom in his ET2+LP66s review stated : ''The ET2 sounds not far off the performance of the CT5, like four-firths of the performance for about half the money-and the CT5 is one of the jewels in the c-j crown.''

I have had the 10AL pre amp for more 10 years and theres nothing wrong with it at this moment.
Since Condrad Johnson has come out with some new pre amps like ET3se and a few others i just wondered if anyone has heard this model and feel that the performance is extremely better than my humble model and worth the purchase. Thanks for sharing your views. |

The current line of C-J preamps are great, including the ET3 and ET3SE and would be quite a bit better than your PV10. I went from a PV12 to a more current model, and the difference was notable. Something else to consider is buying used in the Premier line, the Premier 17LS and Premier 16LS. The PV14 and PV15 are excellent, too. These are great preamps to this day. The Pr17, for example, still outperforms the ET3.

I've been really curious about the ET2...did it use 6922s or 6H30s?

I did not test them alone but my LP125M sounds great with them as the voltage gain tube.
