Dear Dave,
Thanks for your input. It is much appreciated. The messages I keep hearing is:
1)300Bs are sonically better. The question I have is does it sound like a live performance, or colored to meet someones taste.
2)The assumption here seems to be that each tube has sonic characteristics that cannot be changed. No one seems to mention that the distortion characteristics of "pseudo triodes" can be varied, and distortion products can be lessened, and do sound different, so I don't understand the comment that these tubes have a certain sonic character when that "character" can be changed? And if changed, then there is no one "character" of that tube.
