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

BTW. .  .back to the discussion about 300b tubes. . . Recognizing that there is some rebranding, I count 23 manufacturers of 300b tubes, each with as many as 4 different varieties.

I have had success dealing with Amtrans directly: audio@amtrans.co.jp

Thanks Gary. It's been some years ago but I think I purchased my Takatsuki tubes through them.  Yes,  guilty of straying off topic but @sns was  providing some highly appreciated information and perspective.

Charles,I originally was going to diy the Amtrans, wiring of MKI volume transformer different than MKII, so not so straightforward. Israel did send me wiring illustration for Amtrans to MkI trans. Ultimately decided I wanted the upgraded transformers, so sent to Israel.

The proper Amtrans are the single gang switches at Partsconnexion, the other they show is stereo switch. I can't give you any info about the transformers, I'd have to tear apart quite a bit to possibly get part number and manufacturer, may be proprietary part as well. If you decide to not diy, perhaps you could send control chassis only, save some shipping cost.

As for going off topic, yes, sorry, The problem is Audiogon no longer allows private email.
@sns, 
I'm going to email Israel. Ideally I'd like him to ship me the transformers (Amtrans volume  control from PartsconneXtion or Amtrans directly) and I'll have them installed locally. Will see how it goes. 12 years I've owned the Statement Line Stage and Frankenstein mono blocks. They're permanent residents in my home😊.
