Favorite 300B: Sophia vs KR

Thanks for sharing Sakahara.

You probably knew, but you may want contact to Michael about Tung Sol http://www.vacuumtubes.com/

Most what I can see are Siemens made with metal base and they are not cheap at all:-)

Sakahara,
I was an admirer of your Tron/Horning system. I`m happy to hear you`re pleased with your Thoress components(they seem to be very well made) and wish you many years of musical enjoyment with them. As for me, I absolutely love my 300b SET amplifiers and will keep them for a long time.A good 300b tube in the right amp makes beautiful music.
Best of Luck,

Charles1dad : Now you can admire Thoress. ;-) They are of a high caliber design, especially the F2A11. Love the early retro design homage. And I'm not bashing the 300B at all. One of my favorite sounding tubes thus far (I actually wanted the Thoress 300B mono's). But there's much to explore with other power tubes and the F2A11 casts a very musical presence overall.

Maxmad: That's where I found the 12SN7. Where did you see Siemens F2A11 (at SND)?

Just dont want to start another one, so, I bumping this thread.
Tried Sophia Royal 300B's and now I am sure that these were the last Chinese made clones I ever put in my amp.

Is there a way to recognize the Sophia Royal Princess clone? I recently bought two pairs very slightly used. Also have a pair of standard Princesses.
