That's great Charles1dad. Mine failed at 184.5. I think the resistor mod has all the ear marks of being worth while.
Elrog 300B vs Takatsuki 300B tubes
Has anyone heard the Elrog 300B tubes ? I read an article which mentioned that the Elrog 300B delivers 15% less power than a traditional 300B tubes. Can anyone confirm that it is audible ?
I am choosing between Elrog and Takatsuki 300B tubes. I would prefer the Elrog because it is cheaper and supposedly wonderful but if it really sounds less powerful then I have to rethink.

Hi Pani, I had a FW J2 amp as my back-up amp. I use Frankenstein Mk.2 300b's as my main amp. The J2 is a very good amp, detailed, very open, fast, great bass, but the Franks are more liquid and sound more natural in tone and timbre. The J2 had a slight grain compared directly the SET amp. Don't get me wrong it is a wonderful amp, but the 300b's push my buttons more! |

Hi Elrog, Unfortunately, one of my ER300B started failing again. This is a revised version that replaced my original pair last August. It keeps cutting out and making noises. I can turn amp off and take tubes out for a while and then it works for a while and quits again. Sometimes it won't even start up so it is definitely bad. I didn't use the tubes much at all after I received the replacement pair last August. So, they have less than 100 hrs. I have been trying to contact Matthias as he instructed in August but haven't received any reply so far. I hope someone in Elrog can take care of my case. (For the record, I copied email exchange from last year). I think ER300Bs (with ER845) are the best sounding tubes out there. I really hope that the company can back their products and take care of their customers. Let me know how I can proceed to get replacement tubes. Thanks.
