Toolshed Amps 300b Stereo Amp

I have some premium NOS tubes,  Mullard and Amperex E180f for the input ,  and a couple of CRC JAN RCA 5r4gy Rectifiers.   Output tubes will be new Western Electric 300b

I have been interested in their amps for a while. Looking forward to your opinion.

Congratulations! This seems to be a very high quality 300b SET amplifier.  I believe that you made a wise decision to choose top tier 300b tubes. You may as well use this level of tube to get the most of an amplifier of this caliber. This SET would no doubt sound good with the lower cost 300b but not to its fullest sonic potential.

Curious that the reviewer made no comparison with his Border Patrol 300b amplifier.  I'm convinced that both sound fabulous but wonder how they differ in their respective presentations.

So I had called Matt of Toolshed to ask him a question about rectifiers and he told me he just ,became an OEM dealer for Westerm Electric so I didn't hesitate ...  NO shortcuts with this one.    

Although those were pricey, NOS E180F and 6688 tubes are cheap and easy to find.   NOS Mullards for $6 ?   Thank you,  nice not getting raped on input tubes.  Also picked up some nice Amperex for $20 ea.    

Pretty excited for this amp.....mine is similar to the review unit....  Bolivian Rosewood front and rear, Figured Cherry sides , Bronze Hammertone transformer covers.

Genuine Western Electric wiring throughout,  silver foil coupling caps, stepped attenuators, silver/wet tantalum caps,  .05% tolerance resistors....  high quality in and out.   Will  kick ass....
