Another informative and classily done writeup, Rebbi, as always. Thanks! I hadn’t previously been aware of the "Wall of Sound" comparison test. Given the less than stratospheric prices of these choices, I’m starting to think that an upgrade of the **eight** 300Bs used in my amp may be in my future at some point. (Although I understand the amp can be run with four of them, with half the power capability). The amp presently uses brown-base 300B-98s, screened and supplied by VAC. I’d have to be sure, though, that any replacement is truly Western Electric spec-compliant, or in my amp (which drives them particularly hard, and considerably harder than the Kit1) the tubes (and perhaps the amp) would not last long. BTW, regarding thetubestore.com, I’ve made a few purchases from them over the years, all speedy and perfect. Thanks again. Best regards, -- Al |
Part II of the Tube Rolling blog series is up, this one on affordable 300B's! https://stevefolberg.wordpress.com/2015/12/18/new-tubes-part-ii/ Enjoy! |
Hi Rebbi, I have to agree with AL, I always enjoy reading your blog and also your posts on this site. I look forward to your impressions of the 300bs. This is one tube I've had much experience with over the past 6 years. Some pf them can get rather expensive granted, but I love this output tube. Charles, |
A very nicely done and interesting read, Rebbi, as always. Thanks! Looking forward to your 300B report. Following is a corrected link. Note that by default the "insert URL" button above the response box in a thread inserts "http://" at the beginning of the URL. Which may not work if you then paste in a URL also including "http://" or "https://" Also, there should be a colon after "https" https://stevefolberg.wordpress.com/2015/12/15/new-tubes-part-i/ Best regards, -- Al |
