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?

@sns Thanks will look into that. I am thinking about the caps too... either cutf or maybe something warmer like jupiters. I wish I could do copper duelands but apparently they don't fit.

 

The elrogs are very neutral detailed, fast, expansive. Solid tubes but i do wonder what a more romantic bloomy tube would sound like in this amp. Considering the we300b clone (linlai).

I bought a pair of the WE reissue after giving the Psvane WE replicas a shot. The replicas sound the part, meaning they sound good but the real deal is better in every aspect. The Elrog was high on my list but I think it was the mythology surrounding the WE as well as the warranty that got me. No regrets.

Are you still happy with your Elrogs?

Did you try the alternative 300bs you were interested in for comparison?

Haven't heard Elrogs, but I can definitely vouch for the new WE 300B's - they took my Eddie Current Studio B to a whole new level, and they can now even drive my Susvara headphones quite respectably (they were not able to with JJ or Gold Lion 300B's). I do not regret that $$$ outlay one bit.... 

The Psvane and Linlai WE clones aren't  their top of line tubes, wouldn't expect they'd compete with the real WE.
