Elrog 300b vs we300b


I am looking for an upgrade to my elekit tu8600s. Currently have cossor black plates. I use the amp for my hd800s and zmf atticus. I am looking for more transparency, dynamics and a bigger stage. I am interested in a richer tone too so not sure which direction to go. Any thoughts?

@smodtactical

wish the guy who made my amp used cutf caps

Likely reason he didn’t is the copper foil V-caps are almost triple the price of the oil damped metalized polypropylene.

@puffball08 Of course ya it was the cost of it. But still wish he did so I don't have to wonder and potentially mod it.

Another issue when going to boutique film caps is space to fit. If one has pcb may be impossible, even with point to point may have space issues. Major reason I'm looking at VH Audio ODAM for future mods where space at premium. These look like the caps of choice where space at premium, and may be cap of choice regardless.

So far I am enjoying the elrog. It sounds exceptionally revealing and detailed. I need to listen more and compare further to my cossor black plates. The elrogs still burning in I think.

I do wonder about the Linlai WE300b clone and EML XLS tubes.

@sns  Ya I got the ODAM in right now. From what I read they are warmer which is what I am going for so perhaps its a good thing I have them in rather than CUTF.
