Can't speak specifically to the ET3 SE, but the ET-3 regular had a normal, slight tube rush, as does my CJ Classic SE. Can't really hear it more than a few feet away. But, just a question -- is there a separate tube for each channel in the ET-3? If so, I would think that a bad tube would hiss in one channel only. I surmise that you hear it on both. I don't know the circuit topology of the ET-3. I do know that they now use just one tube in the Classic SE, when they used to use 2, one per channel. Could be the same in the ET-3. They have tube diagrams on the CJ website.

What you are hearing is a bad tube. An ET3 SE with a good low noise tube is super quiet.

The dealer told me it was an impedance problem between my modified Threshold T-50's and the CJ. We hooked up the ET-3 at the store w/a Bryston 4B Amp, and a pair of Aerial 7T's. Dead quiet. Excellent sound.

I have an ET3 SE also. It has a hiss on the right side which in my opinion is too loud & I find it bothersome. I replaced the tube 10 months ago with A Gold Lion Genalex tube. It helped a bit when 1st replaced but is now louder than ever. Any suggestions or should I look to replace the unit? An issue is the dimensions of The ET3 SE as it fits perfectly in my custom made cabinet.

Using a good tube my ET3 did not show any noise even with high gain amps and high efficiency speakers. |

Any similar recommendations for alternates to the NOS Mullard 8080s that come with the Classic SE? I really like the sound and they are good tubes for sure, but it might be fun to experiment a bit, just to see.

Phase invert
Hi all
I understand that with this pre amp we have to swap the speaker cables, Will the sound differ if I leave it to the normal connections. Why are CJ pre amp are phase inverts. Thank You. |
