Phil,
Very good advice for those who may be interested in the 300b amplifier route(strong,over built power supplies and transformers). In terms of the output tube for superior bass weight,impact as well as control/firmness and articulation= Sophia Royal Princess and the Takatsuki -TA 300b. these two do it all from bass to treble,they`re superb but very expensive unfortunately(they do deliver the performance!).Both are supreme, Takatsuki just a bit better.
