Elrog 300b vs we300b

@david_ten

I’m pretty sure Scott is familiar with Arthur Loesch and I’m very curious to know his thoughts regarding driver tube attributes (Particularly the high current aspect). Given Scott’s expertise I suspect he has a strong opinion one way or the other.

I did hear differences in driver tubes with AA 845. I haven't heard a bit of difference in various 6 EM7 for Coincident 845, Israel said as much when I questioned him in regard to this. After AA experience, assumed my 300B would react well to high quality drivers, never tried with anything other than same nice NOS drivers I've  been using from beginning.

My same outcome with the 6EM7 driver tubes, no real differences heard. 

Very different from my 300b experiences.

I would say that any 300B tube made with Molybdenum would be far ahead of those mentioned here.  

As far as I know only Elrog makes them. I Have been through many tube amps (including 300B's) and use their 243's (211 with moly). And it's a dynamic leap, which reflects in price too.

See if you can get a chance to try a pair, or it is within your budget. I would think performance wise it would be a no-brainer.

Not sure how you reached that conclusion. As I mentioned above I owned the Elrog 300b. It is an excellent beautiful sounding tube. It has very good dynamic ability, however I find the EML XLS more dynamic and authoritative in its sonic character.

In my audio system the Takasuki was as dynamic as my Elrogs. Both are excellent choices.
