300B replacement


I recently had a Western Electric 300B die on me. If I replaced the one with a new or newer tube, would i hear an imbalance in the two channels?

Other options i am considering are the Sophia mesh plates, Sophia princess mesh or carbon plates, valve art, or Shuguang nickel plates.

Any opinions will be greatly appreciated.

thank you in advance,

66,

The SP Carbon beats out the WE and SP Mesh by a long shot in my system.
Cincy,

Can the A/B test with the SP Carbon/Mesh. The Carbon will win out by a lot as I have/had both. One Mesh blew out and I have one with 400 hrs on it. What to do with it?

You have good ears as I second your opinion on the WE and SP Carbon word for word. You took the keyboard right out of my hands. =8^)

Phil,

I do believe you do not have the Mesh plate but the Globe.
