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

RE: Alternatives to EH 300B

"I'm currently running EH 300B in my SET and I like them. I'd like to keep a similar sonic balance but more / better (e.g., bass, resolution, etc.). Under $1000 for the pair, what are my options? "

Try the Gold Lion 300B. They are from New Sensor, as are the EH's. Similar voicing, just better in every way!! I think they may be the "sleeper bargain" of 300B's. About $300 a pair. I have Shuagang Black Bottle Treasure Z's and the Gold Lions. Both are great sounding tubes at a similar price.

IMO, the high end European 300B's are just a bit too sterile and solid state sounding. Of course YMMV!!

Cheers,
Geary
