Psvane 300-B Tubes ? ? ?

Does anyone out there have any experience with Psvane 300-B MKII or their WE300-B Replica tubes ?  

I found the best sound from initially the Sophia Princess mesh-plate 300-B's, then their Royal Princess 300-B's however I'm definitely NOT happy with their reliability, especially the Royal Princess !  
I had a mesh-plate from new have a glowing spot on the mesh-plate, and they told me it was from sitting on the shelf for over a year !  REALLY ! ? ! ?  And I had two Royal Princess tubes go out with less than 600-hours on them, unfortunately well-past 1-yr. warranty.  Left a bad taste...  I'm NOT going back...  
I've tried EH gold-grid 300-B's, Gold-Lion's, JJ's...  All sound somewhat different but the Sophias sounded the best, however in my experience, reliability is questionable...  Thanks...  John

For sound and so far reliablty, I like the sound of the black treasures and the we300 b replica.

I haven't had much longevity from the Sophia's,300b's,2a3's or there 45's.The sophia's do sound good though.


Best of luck,


Kenny.

Charles,
Numerous variables of the listener and system exert their influence.

+1 on that statement.

I don't believe one given tube is going to be the best tube in each individuals system and or the best for each individuals Sonic preferences.

I quess we all are lucky that there is so many choices or maybe not depending on how you look at it.
