I agree implementation matters. However, a well designed 300B should sound different than a well designed KT88.
The origin of this questions stems from a brief discussion in terms of the sound profile of 845s vs 300Bs in two well designed SETs and they do sound quite different.
It got me wondering how many people are loyal to a brand of amp and explore within the brand vs to a tube type and explore cross brands vs. a pure explorer who wants to hear the best and seek the brand that delivers the best implementation for the tube they are listening too that day.
I thought i would start off inquiring about tube prefernece and see what people’s thoughts are.
