I found the JJs to be fairly innocuous in the realm of inexpensive 300bs, I mean better sounding than most. In the $1000 price range, the EML mesh plates sound good.

In the $1,000 price range, the best I've heard is the ELROG brand. However, it's power out is about 40-50% lower, so you need to take some care with your speakers.
Observe, before you think. Think before you open your yap. Act on the basis of experience.
Consider Emission Labs 300B's. I just got some and, not having seen them before, was surprised by how substantial they are - the construction really puts current Russian stuff in the shade. I haven't had enough time with them yet to make a proper sonic assessment, but I should note that my first impression is lower noise (so more detail) and greater extension on top and bottom than Russian stuff, and in terms of the top and bottom, 1998 Westerns. Not your mom's 300B, but may be of interest. As to the Elrog's, other threads at AA make me want to give them a wide berth, at least until there is an established reliability record and a consensus on consumer satisfaction.
Sorry for not responding earlier, got tied up with work. Happy Fathers Day to all you dads.
