I have had no trouble with my ET-5 and premature tube failure , I broke it in with the factory tube , switched to a GL 6922, then a EAT -6922 and I have settled in on a NOS Westinghouse which remains my favorite in this pre so far. It has a very involving musicality about it that the EAT or GL did not produce in my setup.

Sounds like a plan that works for me also. CJD really does design their equipment for the available new tube stock so we risk making a negative change to the sound with all this rolling. Also to all... c-j is closed for the holiday season until Jan 3, 2012. I guess we're on our own until then. Bob |

Maybe all I need is to get off this light work schedule this week...next week I won't have so much time to spend listening to music, maybe in some small way a good thing. ... 'looking forward to that NOS Westinghouse! |

Rayooo,
Sorry to read about all your troubles. I have a new, spare EH from CJ you can have. Maybe you will have better luck with mine. PM me your address and I'll ship it out. Joe |

My CJ friends,
I have a CJ ET-3 that developed tube "hiss" after only about 350 hours. From talking to several people it seems like the new CJs, (ET-3, ET-5 and GAT) rarely get 1500 hours out of their tubes before problems occur. I only have anecdotal evidence here so I could be wrong. Can anyone recommend a truly magical tube for the ET-3? I ordered a new Electro Harmonix tube from CJ today but I would like to experiment with other tubes and I am willing to pay for best performance. Cheers, Marc |

tube issue very probably... Try with a Genalex 6922 or EAT ECC88, more expensive but to my ears even better with an inclusive guarantee

I definitely like the Genelex 6922 and the Westinghouse 6922 (thanks again repman) I am now back to the EAT . (2nd one working fine, first failed) I also tried a couple Telefunken E88CC, very nice sounding tube, but the two I tried both failed (noise in one channel) so I basically gave up. |

Thanks for the Tube advice. I will give the Genelex and EATs a try.
