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?

I did not know that Israel felt the same regarding the EML XLS 300b as I have expressed. I’ve had the Takatsuki, VAIC and Elrog (1st generation) in my Frankensteins. All were truly excellent and I could recommend anyone of them.

All factors considered I’ve decided that the EML XLS suits me best with sound quality and outstanding reliability track record/tube longevity. I hope that you enjoy the same degree of success with them as I have.

Be sure to follow EML’s initial use burn-in guidelines. This helps to ensure their long lifespan. They in my experience were good sounding out of the box and did improve over the next 50 hours of usage.

@johnnycopy Which Psvanes are you speaking of? I have Psvane Acme 300B in my custom build 300B amps, nearing 300 hours no problem. I hear the Frankensteins run 300B pretty hard, I believe EML XLS is the ONLY 300B I've yet to see a single failure with. If my Acmes die, XLS will be my choice.

@johnnycopy Thanks for the picture, those not the Psvane Acme. Just don't want the Acme to get bad rep, absolutely wonderful in my 300B amps.
