@liquidsound Congratulations! Looking forward to your impressions and feedback.
LinLai WE 300B or the LinLai Global Elite Permaloy 300B tubes ?
I presently am using Sophia Electric 300B mesh-plates and find them to sound good in general. I originally used the Sophia Royal Princess 300B's and really loved the sound, however in my experience, reliability was really poor and for the price, it wasn't any fun trying to get replacements. I'm getting ready to order new 300B's however would like to know if any of you have had experience with their WE 300B or their flagship Elite Permaloy 300B.
Thanks... John

I've heard an amp like mine with the original WE 300B's and it does sound really good ! Were you able to compare the "new" WE's with the original ones ? I am contemplating buying the "new" WE's from LinLai, but want to hear the Elite Permaloy ones first. I believe they will have their own sound "personality" so to speak. |
I can't comment on reliability but length of warranty should count for something. Western Electric gives a 5 year warranty. As for sound, the $499/pair LinLai Western replicas sound extraordinary beautiful to my ears in my system. But they are not true replicas. They have over-hung filaments.
