The owner of these amps had the Western Electric 300b,and the TJ music carbon plates which aren't cheap as well as the Treasures that you see.
He said the TJs were the best for extension and the Shuggies were next best overall..The Western Electrics didn't extend as well at either end and lacked bottom end..If these 900 dollars are a sonic copy,you might be disappointed.
I personally like the Single ended pentodes really well.I heard a KT88 SE amp that Kegger built with Edcor iron at the AK Fest and it could have been the best sounding single ended amp at the show.It was really well done and had mostly all motor run caps in the power supply with well selected components for everything else..I got the recipe for that amp and I would love to build one.
