About the ET6
The Conrad-Johnson ET6 is a vacuum-tube stereo preamplifier and line stage designed as a more affordable sibling to the company’s flagship GAT. It uses a zero-feedback, triode-based circuit with DC voltage regulation, relay-operated stepped attenuator volume control, and infrared remote control. The ET6 includes flexible connectivity with multiple line-level inputs, a tape loop, and a theater/processor loop, and it was offered with an optional tube phono stage for vinyl playback. Manufacturer materials state that the ET6 superseded the discontinued ET3 and that it is available as a standard ET6 or upgraded ET6SE version.
