Cary 300SEI & Western Electric 300b

I own the above amp with and am currently using a pair of Sophia 300bs with a pair of WE300bs on the way. Before I get my new tubes, is there anyone that wants to tell me that I wasted my money and there are other tubes better than the WEs or perahaps that my only regret is that i didn't buy these earlier and nothing else compares with the CAD-300SEI??

I have tried KR 300bXLS, KR 842VHD, Sophia 300b Meshplates, and Western Electric 300B. I prefer the WE's over the rest. I don't think you'll be disappointed.

The only way you could do better is by going with vintage Western Electrics.

The only mistake you made is not using the WE's from the start.

Sounds like I'll be selling my Sophias!

Keep the Sophia's as backups, tubes always blow at the least convenient times!
