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.

"Another, less exciting news, is that Takatsuki going to be much expensiver soon, say around JPY 30.000 = USD360 more than now...”

Maxmad - Yikes!!!

Charles1dad - Please, please don’t tell me that they blow the RPs away.

Takatsuki going to make 274B tube as well, price JPY80.000 = USD960 each.

By the way, their new black base with yellow print on it version is so beautiful that I have to hit myself real hard to keep it cool.

Google been tried and something in there, but what exactly, not sure, so, we need an real Japanese or someone who can translate correctly here, imo.

Or, maybe if everyone tries, we will find something, who knows:-)))

The internal construction will remain the same, but they are talking about improvements with new release, so, whatever that is, must be even better than now, right?
