300B Tubes


Anyone try the western electric serial numbered current manufactured stock (not OEM). I've got a VAC renaissance signature seventy/70 dual monophonic triode power amplifier. How do they compare with other 300B's and especially the KR 300B? Currently my amp is running the shuguang 300B tubes. How much improvement do you think I can get with the WE's or the KR's?

FYI: here's a recent post I made regarding my humble experiences with numerous 300B's I own including WE's and the KR's:

I should add that from my feedback of users of VAC 300B based amps, the tubes are run pretty hard and perhaps it would be worth looking at the EML300Bxls as this has a higher dissipation rating than the others.
