RE: EML vs. Sophia Meshplate 2A3



Nope-- not to my way of thinking. I have both. All the solid plates except the JJ 2A3-40 sit there-- waiting for something....

There's always something to like about a solid plate tube, depending on which brand it is, and how it's run.

Then, there's music. Real music. I've never found a solid plate tube that could do it as well as EML's Mesh. Here, I'm referring-- as I usually do-- to ALL kinds of music, and all the things that are in it be presented well-- a total balance.

Solid-Plate tubes do handle power better, and you'll hear that on Hard Rock played at high levels.

The EML Mesh is GOOD at this-- SOME solid-plates are better at it.

But, that's not the whole musical picture. EML wins. Get out your wallet and touch-up your amps. You could be in for a good surprise.

FIRST-- see what your amps are running for plate current on the output tubes. Don't want to charcoal that expensive steak!
