RE: 2a3 and 300b

"The 300b amps do sound different than the 2a3 (6b4g) amp but that could be do to many things other than the output tube."

Yup

I use both and they are voiced different. Period. Is one better than the other? Maybe. Depends. What is the circuit topology? What is the space you're trying to fill? What speakers? What is your source material? Did you wake up cranky? What kind of preamp are you using? Why? For this thought exercise let us avoid cables... You see where this is going.

I love both. I mix and match endlessly. I get tired of a particular sound and need change. Neither one is better and I am fine with that kind of ambiguity in my life. There are simply too many other things which are more important.

Like what am I having for dinner?
