The Conrad-Johnson ET6SE is a single-ended vacuum-tube line preamplifier using a zero-feedback circuit, a 6922 tube, relay-operated stepped attenuation, infrared remote control, and flexible RCA input/output routing with a processor loop. Compared with the standard ET6, the ET6SE uses upgraded CJD Teflon capacitors and bulk metal-foil resistors in critical circuit applications. An optional phono stage is available, with selectable gain and support for moving-magnet and higher-output moving-coil cartridges.
