Has anyone compared the CJ ET3 to the Premier 17LS


Like the question above, I was wondering if anyone has owned the CJ Premier 17LS and heard the ET3, and mentally, or physically compared the two? I would still give the nod to the Premier 17, but this "baby" GAT thing has me wondering. (Does Conrad Johnson realize that "GAT" is a slang term for a gun?)
Thanks for the help!

Thanks for the insights. I have been really happy with my Premier 17 and like the balance feature plus the "brick" remote. Of course, like most audiophiles, the "change" bug bites me every so often. One tube in a preamp is also intriguing. I might just get a ET3 and do the comparisons myself as I am sure I could sell either one fairly easily.
Again, my thanks for the reply.
Hi Zkidd,

If you get the ET3, please post your comparison!!! While i suspect I might be happier with the ET3, i also know that newer is not always better. In fact, my system was virtually the definition of older SOTA equipment for years until i fortunately came across some newer demo units.

i also am confident that the Premier 17 is one helluva a great preamp, having always enjoyed my CJ equipment.

good luck! 2 great choices, and please keep us posted.
Hi Zkidd,

No doubt you will have seen there are 2 ET3s available on AGon at the moment...different voltages depending on where you are in the world. Good luck.
Any of you guys still listening to an ART (1,2,3), ACT (1,2) or ET-3 (SE)?
