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.

Isochronism,
For some reason I don`t see your email address on audiogon. You can email me charles1dad@aol.com.

My two girls are on their way to you.
One rule I must insist upon. Do not (!!) subject them to any Ornette Coleman as they are in their young formative stage.

Charles1Dad: I also have been living happily with BT's in my
Franks for awhile and am contemplating replacing/trying something
else. Have you heard the RP's, psvane 300b-t, or AVVT's yet.
BTW, where can I purchase the psvane and some 6em7
driver tubes? Anyone else with opinions?
Thanks, George.

Isochronism,
I promise, no Ornette Coleman, is Eric Dolphy ok?
Auntjenof2,
The BT have been 'excellen't in the Frankenstein.Thanks to the generosity of Isochronism I`ll have the opprotunity to compare the Sophia RP and my BT 300b in a few days.
I do realize 300b tubes performance can vary when placed in different amplifiers.

Auntjenof2,
You can get the Psvane from Grant Fidelity. That`e where I got my BT tubes, very good service.
