Funny, I have never been impressed with the 300 and agree with your evaluation. His KLH 27 was designed and built with almost a no holds barred attitude not showing any cost cutting of compromise in design or execution. I found the phono preamp as good as the 300's and the tuner far more sensitive and less fatiguing. Pick it up and then a 300 and just feel the difference in weight. The biggest advantage of the 300 is the preamp outputs so it can be used as tuner/preamp with a better power amp.

Admittedly, recapping a 27 vs a 300 is like pulling down a jet engine vs the engine of a rubber band model plane.

I am not knocking the 300 but, just do not see the reason for the almost cult worship except it was a Kloss stabled product.
