Sun Valley vs Sun Audio 300b

Any thoughts on how they sound?

Sun Audio is extremely simple circuit with no NF and Tamura.

Sun Valley is more complicated circuit w/GNF and Hashimoto.

I don’t mind building either, but hard to find anything out there comparing how they sound. Each has sales reps in US that want to push their own.

Sometimes simpler is better, other times stability is better.

thanks in advance!

Seems like one day I will have to build a 300B and have followed Skunkie and others on the topic. The thing about Vikto Kung is that it is not clear how you buy from him, at least from what I have read on DIYaudio. Please continue to relate your experiences on this thread.

That was the second amp i had with Hashimoto, the other a Triode Labs integrated and again in that circuit they sounded lean and flat (maybe I mean more linear less passion) that the Fi.
