Elrog 300B vs Takatsuki 300B tubes

Well, after waiting so long for my Elrog's. The Post Service lost my first pair. George was kind enough to send me another pair last Saturday (I wish I would have waited). I see I won't be able to use them with my Franks.

I hope George (Tubes USA) will exchange them for ones that will not be stressed in our Franks.

I did listen the them for a few hours. They sound very good out of the box, very smooth and refined. Hopefully, with more hours they would surpass the Takatsuki's, as of now I still like the Taks better in my set-up.

Elrog's agreeable approach to finding a workable solution for owners of the Coincident Frankensteins is commendable.

Well you know my high regard for TAK and EML. The Elrog is very good "out of the box" and keeps improving with time. You may ultimately prefer the TAK in your system. In my case the Elrog was even more communicative of musical soul and emotion without sacrificing the good stuff of the other two tubes. For certain time will tell. Elrog just pushed "all" the right buttons in my system.
Charles,

Matthias (or any others with the knowledge): any insight on how the El Rog 300B works in Audio Note Quest Silver monos? I have the low gain version (6J5 driver rather than 6SN7) but don't know the operating specs (and I'm no expert in these things).

I really like the descriptions I've read of the El Rog's sound, and almost ordered a pair more than once, but was cautious due to the failures I read about over on Head-Fi..

Thanks,

Randy

Charles, it was just a quick opinion. Once they are fully burned in then comes the critical listening. I might just like them better then the highly regarded Taks and EML's, will see.

Hopefully, Elrogs team will come up with a solution.
