With its simple sheet-metal chassis and gold-toned faceplate, the ET3 Special Edition looks identical to the standard version, but adds high-quality parts throughout, including Teflon capacitors, Vishay resistors, silver-plated RCA jacks, and Cardas wire. It uses a tubed input stage, a FET buffer output stage, and offers four line-level inputs, a tape loop, an external processor loop, and a Home Theater output. The C-J had a sense of ease that benefited good recordings while minimizing the sonic shortcomings of poor ones, said ST. “It is easily the finest Conrad-Johnson preamplifier I’ve heard in my listening room,” he concluded.
