Hi vinnie, I year you re the 2A3! They can sound a touch zingy or "strained" as Jeff would say. I reckon the differences between operating points and manufacturer are more important than the differences of tube type: an EML 2A3 will sound a lot like an EML 300B; a WE 300B will sound rather different to an EML 300B. But of course, if you have a fave manufacturer that produces a nice 300B, well, there you have it!
I have thought about going for a 300B and will visit this next... unless I get distracted by the 50 which seems like it could be my ideal tube.
cheers,
91.

It similar to the 300b but has 2.5v filament so Ac heating is doable
I have a pair and like them, but prefer the EML solid plates for a similar but more even, slightly more resolved (especially in the bass), and honest sound... in my system with my music. I mean no disrespect the mighty JJ though. It is a fine tube: the most dynamic and propulsive 2A3 I have tried.
I suspect my system is simply more suited to the EML than JJ. That may change in the near future.
Cheers,
91.

I would like to try a 50 too, but I think the prices are crazy. Maybe If I trip over a pair at a garage sale some day ...... : )
