I love the sound. To my ears it’s light years ahead of anything I’ve heard, which is not much admittedly. I can see tube replacement and related issues growing tiresome though. I’d like to get a separate integrated ss/tube and have them side by side. Does anyone have a spare 5-10k laying around! Lol

I’ve just got a few bad ones right out of the gate that’s all. Hopefully, smooth sailing for years. As I mentioned, I’d hate to give up this sound. This 300b is so easy and relaxing to listen to.

Lol i guess it’s an individual preference but not sure how someone would not enjoy this sound I guess they would say, you’ve never heard great ss. I never have I know I’ve heard this 300b and oh my!
