Favorite 300B: Sophia vs KR

Tvad: I'm sorry. I'll buy the cheaper 300B tubes.

Fyi, I wasn't looking at the $650 EML 300B XLS.

Sakahara,
Only you know your current financial status relative to your previous standards (thus the need to sell your current speakers). This economy has affected many in a variety of ways, obviously some more than others. You certainly don`t need to apologize to Tvad or anyone else.

Just buy these: ( http://cgi.ebay.com/new-old-stock-tubes-Western-Electric-300B-match-pair_W0QQitemZ290512896436QQcategoryZ64629QQcmdZViewItemQQ_trksidZp4340.m8QQ_trkparmsZalgo%3DMW%26its%3DC%26itu%3DUCC%26otn%3D5%26ps%3D63%26clkid%3D5749337515894018069 )

Well, I've come full circle and purchasing the Sophia SET Princess Carbon Plate. I had placed an order for the EML 300B but Tube Audio Store didn't have stock. So reluctantly (explanation coming...), I tried ordering from the only other US dealer; George Lenz at TubesUSA. I soon gave up on that. He has these extra fees/charges (PayPal higher then 3%, packing material costs,..) and he's very evasive with any questions. It's no wonder he has stock - no one buys from him. Arrogant, rude. Don't buy from TubesUSA. That forced me to rethink which tube to use, but after speaking with my amps dealer, who felt the Sophia was better then the EML, I took his advice.

Charles1dad: I was being sarcastic with Tvad.

Rodman99999: Too much.

Sakahara,
Great use of sarcasm, he deserved every bit of it. Good luck with the Sophia tubes.
