CD...ronenash makes a compelling case for the ET3. What do you think?

We're getting off-topic here, but with the forebearance of our fellow AAer's, I feel that it might be appropriate to set a number of facts straight:

Quote:
I did not simply suggest, "Just pick one or pick something with a champagne faceplate". What I actually said was that all of the choices you were considering were excellent preamps (and they are), and you couldn't go wrong on any of them, and this is the key point, to pick the one that you thought represented the best VALUE for you from the choices you presented. That's completely different than just saying "Pick something with a champagne faceplate". Fourth: Upon considered reflection of your needs, I then also wrote you another message and said that given that a Premier 17 was likely your first choice, to go with an ET3 because I had heard one and it was it was the closest-sounding preamp to the Pr17 that I had heard, and there was always have the Teflon cap upgrade path available to you in the future. Here's the last fact: If you don't want my take, opinion, etc., nothing is stopping you from not asking for it.

Don't know why anyone would buy either the ET2 or ET3 with the ET4 coming out now. In fact, based on the new Kevlar caps, seems like a no brainer to wait.

CD...not sure if you saw but there is an ET3 that was just listed in the For Sale section of AA. You might want to check it out.

Let me explain comedy to you Jax; it's only funny if everyone can get the POV...lol. IDK if an ET4 is around the corner. But you're right; good stuff.
