I will have to say that the Sophia Royal Princess 300-B's did sound the best in my BorderPatrol S20 SET amp. However I really was taken aback with reliability issues about 5+ years ago with that tube, and challenges with getting them to replace them. I still have personal issues with spending $2400/quad for those (I have no idea of what they cost now) and their not being reliable. I presently am on my last-set of Princess Mesh-Plate 300-B's which sound good and am looking forward to the LinLai tubes.
I used to tube-roll years ago, however I guess in my older-age, I like just settling down to listening rather than trying to squeeze the last bit of sound improvement, especially at the price of some of these 300-B's !
