I highly suggest an EAT tube once you've got about 500 hours on your preamplifier. It makes a huge difference....

'no more than about a half hour after first firing up the ET-5 did I start thinking about a bit of tube tweaking, and it'll be EAT for sure.
I'll probably end up popping one in even before the thing is fully broken in. |

The great news is that they are supposed to last about 10,000 hours and you only need one!

There's only one tube in the ET-5?

Yup, 1ea. 6922 mounted on a little flex sub-PWA, presumably to cut down on the tube picking up external vibes. And with 24 of those cute little volume control relays "cliking" away when one changes the volume, it's probably a very good idea!
My ET-3 had no balance adjustment, it had 12 relays only. With the ET-5 it's double the fun. a single 6922 definitely makes tube tweaking a bit easier than if one had to roll 2, 3 or more tubes at a pop. |

The cliks are no louder at full volume than at lower volume, and are impossible to hear from listening chair. Having said that, when seated, the audible relay noise from the chassis probably masks any chance of hearing cliks emanating from the speakers themselves. these definitely sound "electrical" in nature and do not have that micro-phonic sound at all. I had a tube go bad in the ET3 where the relays were "microphonically" ..if that's a word, cross talking into the tube. None of that here. One other thing I did notice, on ET3 with volume control set between 95 and max, a slight hum was present in the speakers (again listening up close) the ET-5 is dead quiet all the way up to 98 with a very slight hum present at 99. |
