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.

Gsm,
I may also be interested in your tubes.
If Charles doesn't want them
I have a Wavelength Signature 300b NCE and also a Frankenstein mkII.
You can email me at billb51@yahoo.com.

Abill, The remaining good tube was checked by Sophia and tested as new. I purchased a matched second tube and they both were then sent back to Charles to resume his planned comparison.
They are actually an additional pair that I have.
I am using my other pair here, now. I am very happy with them, and was not looking to get rid of any. You already have a pair of RP's?
The amplifier that was tripped by the Takatsuki's was the Wavelength?

Isochronism,
Abill is referring to Gsm`s Takasuki 300b which are`nt compatibile with his Ancient Audio amp. He`s not referring to your RP tubes sent to me.

Thank you Charles. I have to remind myself to stop and take a breath after running in the door, before I sit down and try to think.
