Single Ended Triodes (SETs), the ultimate tube lovers dream.

RE: Amen brother!

Reading the responses here convinces me more than ever that the amplifier itself is a significant variable for tube compatibility/preferences. I own the Coincident Frankenstein MK II and found the WE reissue 300b disappointing and underwhelming. It was clearly bettered by the Takatsuki -TA, Sophia Royal Princess, EML XLS and also their mesh plate, AVVT 32b SL. The EMLs have no metallic character in my system and in fact are very natural and organic in presentation. Next level below was the Shuguang Black Treasure and further down the Sophia carbon plate and their mesh (perforated plate actually). So it appears that certain amps mate with certain 300bs.

I happily rotate between the Takatsuki, AVVT and EML XLS.
