Doge 8

[markjrho]

I sold some gear in order to dive into tubes to try with my Nola Viper iia speakers. I keep going back and forth between the CJ ET-3, which I have heard and liked quite a bit, and the Doge 8, which I have not heard, but have read nothing but rave reviews.

Does anyone have any experiences/thoughts on the Doge and how it may measure up to - or even surpass the ET-3?

Thanks, Mark

I own a Doge 8 and it is an outstanding preamp--accurate, detailed, dynamic and uncolored.

I haven't heard the CJ ET-3, but traditionally CJ gear has sounded on the warm and forgiving side of neutral.

Thanks for the response, but in a major turn, I wound up purchasing a dehavilland ultraverve pre. We shall see how it goes.
