Thank you Charles. I have to remind myself to stop and take a breath after running in the door, before I sit down and try to think.
Favorite 300B: Sophia vs KR
Which do you prefer; S.E.T. Princess 300B Carbon Plate or KR 300B WE Clone?
I've only experienced NOS 40's/50's WE so my expectations are pretty high. Which do you think captures the essence of the WE most closely? I'm trying to keep the cost down as much as possible so EAT is not an option, as much as I was blown away by their KT88. I considered current WE but they're not in production until Spring 2011.

GSM Thanks for the effort in trying. I am sure your tubes are sold but if not email [email protected]. I will own both Takasuki one of these days along with my RPs. I own the Border Patrol S10 EXD with fixed bias so tube biasing is not a problem. In the mean time I will await for more drama to unfold. gwalt |
While awaiting the main event results some might be interested in my findings with the "lesser" Psvanes and AVVT 32b. Right out of the box the Psvane 300b-t sounds a little more detailed than the BT's while retaining very similar warmth and magical midrange. Overall I think it is a better tube and only 15 hours on them. The AVVT's were shockingly lively, detailed and very neutral. Not quite the lusciousness of the Psvanes. Probably will be my go to for classic rock or shorter listening sessions. Can't wait for these tubes to reach 200-300 hours. BTW, I will probably list the BT's with 700-800 hours on them. Also for those with the Coincident linestage, I have 2 pairs of 101D's that I no longer need George |
