In Reply to: RE: "a new pair of the 300B grey bottles".... posted by thetubeguy1954 on March 15, 2014 at 17:31:33:
To be fair, some tubes manufactured in China, Eastern Europe and Russia over the last 10 or so years have been quite OK, even good to excellent.
However, some have been made to a price point and nothing more, especially the various and sundry 'Gold Lion' KT-88 clones made in China. That and microphonic DHT's from China and Russia were and still are quite a drag.
On the 300B front, to my ears the Full Music/TJ tubes were pretty good sounding as well as some of the Eastern European brands like EML (Emission Labs). The WE remakes made in USA about a decade ago worked well for me, as did the early KR's when they first came out.
I suppose I will write a big check soon for the higher priced 'WE' version of PSVANE 300B's. Here's hoping that last a long time, because at those prices once every 10 years is soon enough.
First they came for the dumb-asses
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a dumb-ass
