Favorite 300B: Sophia vs KR



Which do you prefer; S.E.T. Princess 300B Carbon Plate or KR 300B WE Clone?

I've only experienced NOS 40's/50's WE so my expectations are pretty high. Which do you think captures the essence of the WE most closely? I'm trying to keep the cost down as much as possible so EAT is not an option, as much as I was blown away by their KT88. I considered current WE but they're not in production until Spring 2011.

Maxmad's speaker wire, or any other system component frankly, may well be responsible for the metallic tone up top...
What's your system Maxmad?
ok Maxmad, looks like your system would be high on what we neurotic audiophiles would call "musicality"!

Gsm18439 please keep us all posted. Perhaps you could also borrow a pair of Psvane WE-300B clones, burn them all in, then invite us all over for a listen...?
Maxmad, regarding the person with all the tubes to whom you refer... what is his amp and speaker pairing? TIA
Congratulations Charles1dad!
You took a chance - it paid off.
Will they warranty the tubes this side of the pond? If so, what would that entail? Shipping back to Japan?

When do you expect the RPs to arrive?
