Elrog 300b vs we300b


I am looking for an upgrade to my elekit tu8600s. Currently have cossor black plates. I use the amp for my hd800s and zmf atticus. I am looking for more transparency, dynamics and a bigger stage. I am interested in a richer tone too so not sure which direction to go. Any thoughts?

@smodtactical  I can't speak specifically to tubes you mentioned, but the Shuguang Black Treasure's running previously, and generally considered best of the low priced 300B weren't really in same ballpark as Acme.

 

I expected a modicum of improvement with Acme, not prepared for the massive improvement heard within five minutes of first listen to Acme, much greater resolving power most obvious change. Very disappointed I had delayed Acme purchase based on inability to choose which 300B to go with. I expect I'd be feeling exactly the same with purchase of any of the high end tubes.

@sns that is awesome and makes me excited for my elrogs! A member of our discord sonic visions actually compared them and found he preferred the elrogs.

@puffball08 will look into that.

I wish the guy who made my amp used cutf caps but oh well. If I ever mod it then I can do both mods.

Likely reason he didn’t is the copper foil V-caps are almost triple the price of the oil damped metalized polypropylene.

@puffball08 Of course ya it was the cost of it. But still wish he did so I don't have to wonder and potentially mod it.
