RE: What the world needs is another WE91-inspired amp!

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.
