@thaluza I wasn't aware that Charles had moved on from the EML to newer production Elrog, interesting.
Any 300B Has A Bit Warmer Presentation?
Would appreciate any thoughts on currently available 300B's that tend to be a bit warmer than average 300B in sound signature. I have a system put together that is nearly perfect but just a touch more warmth would put it over the top and the two 300B's are the only remaining avenue to find that. The rest of the system is optimized, otherwise. Budget is up to $1000.00 a pair, absolute max. A lower price would be preferred. Thanks for any assistance with this.

@sns it was the opposite afaik. Elrog to EML. He was having quality issues with Elrog. I recall he was effusive in his praise for the Elrog though, when thety were working. |
I bought an extra set of Takasuki 300B tube… for when they needed changing. Then I did research on their life after reading about the long life of other 300B tubes. Takasuki 300B have an expected lifespan of 20,000 hours. Yes, as in any tube, there can be an early failure… but that’s a long time. I would purchase without hesitation. They are truly amazing tubes. I have probably 1,000 hours on mine… simply stunning. I would look at buying these tubes more like buying a component than a tube. |
