Elrog 300B vs Takatsuki 300B tubes

Charles, please let us know what you think of the Elrogs.

I'll post on my system page.

Charles, are we there yet, are we there yet? LOL, you are in a unique position. Almost like the first man to see the dark side of the moon. Having taken the plunge on the Elrogs, and having loved them without reservation since day one, I am as you know ever so curious what you think, especially with respect to the EMLs and Taks. The good think is, I have a set of tubes I could live with forever.

Hi Bill,
My wife just told me that the tube package arrive today. I am out of town but will be back home tomorrow, I do look forward to hearing these unique tubes and comparing them to my other favorites. The Frankenstein has clearly and easily revealed the character of every single 300b I have tried thus far. In that 6 Moons review article I had referenced earlier they use the top-of-the-line Thomas Mayer SET amplifier. Yet their description of the sonic character of the Western Electric was identical to what I heard in my system.
Charles,

Hi Rob,
Admittedly there are certainly other excellent options and choices in amplifiers besides a 300b SET amplifier. And within this 300b amplifier niche there are certainly other very fine choices besides the Coincident Frankenstein amplifier. I will say that this amp with the top level 300bs installed is definitely a musical Thrill to enjoy. I believe it would be terrific with your Tekton Lore speakers. A wonderful match of speaker and amplifier that doesn't cost excessive money.
Charles,
