Favorite 300B: Sophia vs KR



Which do you prefer; S.E.T. Princess 300B Carbon Plate or KR 300B WE Clone?

I've only experienced NOS 40's/50's WE so my expectations are pretty high. Which do you think captures the essence of the WE most closely? I'm trying to keep the cost down as much as possible so EAT is not an option, as much as I was blown away by their KT88. I considered current WE but they're not in production until Spring 2011.

Phaelon - I'm glad you've found as much satisfaction in this tube as I have. I hope others do too.
Phaelon,
Since you have both Sophia tubes, what`s different in terms of built or physical characteristics? Different metal alloys?
Hi Charles1dad,
I sent the Carbon Princesses back. I should have compared the two more closely. All I can say now, is that no differences jumped out.....until I plugged them in.

This from the Sophia website:
"From the outside, the Royal Princess 300B tube looks similar to Carbon Plate Princess 300B (share the same glassware enclosure), however, the design philosophy is quite different and the internal design and material is different as well."
Thanks Phaelon,
I`m very happy with my Shuguang Treasure tubes, but these top Sophias seem quite special. I wish you many long and satisfying hours with them.
My 300B journey has come to an end. I've since moved on to a new soundscape - F2A11.
