Elrog 300B vs Takatsuki 300B tubes

Also, I'm positive the Tektons will match beautifully with any of the discussed amps; the AN Kit my wife builds will be paired with either the larger Lore, or perhaps we go all in on a newer Tekton model. As for my room it's likely time to say good-bye to my Infinity Prelude Composition (about 15 yrs. old) and step-up to Coincident, Tannoy, Daedalus speakers if they match ok. I' going to hit some shows, travel to NYC, LA, etc., hopefully this will be end game for Amp, Pre and Speakers.

I just left Charles home and spent a couple of hours with him listening to his new Elrogs. All I can say is that they are fantastic. I notice a lot more bass weight and foundation yet they are very open and clear on top. I think they are smoother less grainy if thats possible. Wonderful wonderful tube.

Rob,
As you read above, Jeff heard my system today. He knows my system intimately and thought as highly of the Takatsuki and EML XLS as I do. My advice if you can swing it, get the Elrogs for your Frankenstein. Start at the top with this combination, there'll be no looking back or second guessing.
Charles,

Charles, I plan to do just that. I feel like the kid in school looking over your shoulder for good notes. I really trust your ears, Brownsfan, Rebbi, Jwm, too, amongst others. All your musical values are very similar. Looking forward to your continuing comments regarding all things audio.
