300B king of tubes?


If so, are the WE 300Bs king of kings? I have 300B SET with standard Chinese Shuguan 300Bs. Tried Sovteks. Didn't hear much difference. Is it worth the extra (a lot extra) bucks to get the Westwern Electrics ?

Enjoy The Music (www.enjoythemusic.com) has a review of all major brands of 300B tubes in their archives. They pronounced the TJ Meshplates as the best 300B. The Westerns were second, I believe. You can pick them up new for $350. a pair. That said, I had them in an amplifier and wasn't impressed. Don't know if it was the tubes or the amp. I didn't have it long enough to find out.
