Elrog 300b vs we300b


I am looking for an upgrade to my elekit tu8600s. Currently have cossor black plates. I use the amp for my hd800s and zmf atticus. I am looking for more transparency, dynamics and a bigger stage. I am interested in a richer tone too so not sure which direction to go. Any thoughts?

I suggest adding EML 300B mesh plates to your list. To me in my system they are considerably better than other new issued 300Bs I tried. While I have only tried a few 300Bs I have gone through many 45s and 2A3s including a few rare globe 45s. The EML mesh plates are in all my 45s, 2A3s and 300B amps now. To me they have been consistently the most transparent and balanced tubes.

Tried Sophia Electric blue glass and Shuguang. My guess is that both the WE and Elrog are better than those. I was going to sell my 300B amps until I tried the EMLs. Most of my experience is with 45s and 2A3s. I have tried many NOS and new issue 45s and 2A3s and have found the EMLs to be best is my system. My 300B experience probably doesn’t help you much. Maybe someone else who has tried EMLs, WEs and Elrogs can chime in. They are worth looking into.
