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.

Maxmad,
I got an email from Keiko at AMtrans confirming an increase price with the new 300b model for mid april. I`ve asked her to send me information on what 'exactly' the differnces are between these two tubes besides a different base color.Good lord! can the sound possibly improve from it`s stunning current level?

Jwm,
If in fact there`re sonic improvement(not for certain yet) I agree with you.

I got the RP tubes 30 minutes ago and they`re warming up now. Well out of the box they sound very good! I`ll burn them in over the next 2 days and post early impressions this weekend. This tube is off to a promising start that`s for sure.
Regards,
