Elrog 300B vs Takatsuki 300B tubes

Has anyone heard the Elrog 300B tubes ? I read an article which mentioned that the Elrog 300B delivers 15% less power than a traditional 300B tubes. Can anyone confirm that it is audible ?

I am choosing between Elrog and Takatsuki 300B tubes. I would prefer the Elrog because it is cheaper and supposedly wonderful but if it really sounds less powerful then I have to rethink.

My good friend  Jeff (Jwm) installed the new  cathode resistors in my Frankenstein amplifier  yesterday and they  didn't change the sound of the  amplifier at all. That's a relief, now I'm waiting for the replacement Elrogs from George (tubesusa.con). He said they're coming soon.

Has anyone tried the Elrog 211 tubes- Looking to change from the GE211( one going bad) on my Wyetech Topaz-  Roger at Wyetech said he doesnt think i will notice a difference in sound from the GE??

I've  installed  my replacement Elrogs in my amplifier today .  Needless to say that they sound divine. I hope the cathode resistor swap is the answer for tube longevity in the Frankenstein MK II. Time will tell.

Would the Elrog's be stable in a Canary Audio M500?
