Which is REALLY the best Conrad Johnson Preamp


I would like to start a discussion about what you think is the best sounding CJ Preamp. Just because the manufacturer needs to change to sell more boxes and Magazines need advertising dollars doesn't always mean that the sonics have improved. For example some audiophiles like the older art series over the new GAT Preamps and it's lesser siblings. Would like the informed opinions of those lucky audiophiles who have heard both. I like the old CJ sound but haven't heard the new offerings.

As above,at their respective price points on the used/demo market, the ET3-SE and ET-5 are tough to top.
Happy Listening!
I certainly yield to the more experienced voices here, but I enjoyed the Classic 2, which has been replaced by the Premier 3; both into Premier 11a. This is my first tube system after years of quality SS/MOSFET. For my ears the tubes are a better match, and I think this is ideal within my budget.
BTW Mark, thanks for passing on the Premier 3. I love it.

Interesting times at Conrad Johnson for sure, as we have an upgrade to the ET-7 (S2), plus a new ET-6/6SE pre-amps.  Happy New Year's Eve.
