Thanks Joe for the suggestion will investigate.

Fingers and toes crossed.

Well I have to say..this is one brilliant pre amp: I'm not sure how much better the range gets but...as with all audio...I'm sure diminishing returns kick in.

Frankly I'm amazed at what $2500 buys you in terms of musicality. I'm not sure I would suggest pumping for the SE model: at nearly $1500 (or 40% more) one would have to ask...why? Surely you would be getting into used ET5 territory....for not much more.

Overall - a superb piece of kit and one I can easily recommend. Even out of absolute phase.

Graham (Audio-Savant??) hopefully will be visiting over the Xmas break with his Shindo pre...which will make for an interesting comparison.

BTW I'm loving these actives..guys - these are serious value - fully active 4 ways with 28-20Hz FR, sealed enclosures, separate psu's and fully adjustable...well everything: on- board EG, slopping 3 db stepped bass attenuation the lot. And all for A$10k.

Ivan - you should think about picking up this as a distributorship. Fit and Finish is amazing. The CX4F is the pick of the line for value vs performance.

Utterly transparent - they sound like what you have up front.

Another happy C-J convert!

The ET3 reminded me of my Premier 17, and for the money is a killer preamp.

Andy,

How did you sort out the Hum issue?

Joe

[AndyPandy]

Nope - just using the CJ via RCA - its out of absolute phase with my speakers: which is a nuisance but not something to get too excited about.

Update - my EAT 6922 tube is at the PO. Will pick up later and pop in the system.

The Mytek has a nice feature: you can invert absolute phase. CJ problem solved.

Its interesting - when I have a REALLY good recording I prefer it straight from my Mytek via XLR - everything else I like the CJ in the chain. Which says alot about the pre function in the Mytek....

Fortunately its as hard as flicking a switch on the speakers and bypassing the volume control on the Mytek and voila - instant CJ in the path.

Much fun. Now to convert some SACD ISO's...

Hi Andy

Great to see you have resolved the phase issue and the system is humming.

[AndyPandy]

Thanks Shane.

Love the EAT 6922: it really lifts the ET3 to another level.

Highly recommended.

Oh and I can recommend Galen Carol as a dealer - took the trouble to disclose to me that the EAT 6922 has had some returns and then went to the trouble of playing my tube for a few days to ensure it would be trouble free. All for a $230 sale including shipping. Does him great credit.
