RE: EML 274b vs Sophia 274b

I actually posed the question to see if there is a compelling reason to replace my Sophia 274b with the EML. Apparently there isn't.

I have also had the Philips 5R4GYS in place for awhile. In my Inspire KT150 the 274b sounds better. Not quite as much power as the with the Philips, but more than enough for my system. I am using the Philips 5R4GYS in my PrimaLuna Dialogue Premium Preamp to great benefit.

What I will say is the Telefunken E88CC Kevin is selling is an AMAZING improvement over the Russian driver tubes. This takes the KT150 to a whole new level. Telefunken REALLY knew how to make tubes.
