Takatsuki 300B $255 !!

@mclinnguy thanks! I'll check it out.

@williesaid You are welcome.

I think the upper ranges are magnificently done with them, but perhaps at a cost in the lower frequencies so they lack that 300B fullness at times.

If you want to trade your Tak’s for my Gold Lions let me know- should give you exactly what you are looking for

Just reread this review, and based on this quote perhaps the Elrogs would suit?

It (Tak’s) had less tonal density and heft compared to the Elrog, and careful matching is required to avoid excessive brightness.

I’ll take two! 😁

Competition amongst boxes is intense, question is why they selling, what happened to the tubes?

Since sound quality brought up, recently purchased WE to compare with Psvane Acme, after having an issue with one of the WE (lost vacuum) up and running with replacement, I have to say WE superior to Acme, greater resolving, transparency, harmonic development meaning more natural timbre, tonality or tonal balance amazingly equal, fully burned in Acme superior micro dynamics, a little more expressive, expect WE will improve here over time. Acme build quality superior, much more weight, heft, thicker glass, base more substantial.
