Cary 300SEI & Western Electric 300b

I own the above amp with and am currently using a pair of Sophia 300bs with a pair of WE300bs on the way. Before I get my new tubes, is there anyone that wants to tell me that I wasted my money and there are other tubes better than the WEs or perahaps that my only regret is that i didn't buy these earlier and nothing else compares with the CAD-300SEI??

Good point. However, I do need to sell something to help pay for the WEs!! Maybe power cords.

I like the WE 300b more than any current production 300b. They seem to last a long time too, at least those that my friends own seem to be very reliable. However, they do have one quality control problem. The base and the glass are not glued together very well and can become loose. I've seen it quite a few times. So, be very careful about only pulling the tube at the base, and treat it gingerly.
