Get the WE300B's, new production, matched at NOS price on used market @$495/pr.
Will I hear better sonic from WE300B on my system
I have an Audio Electronic Supply SE-1 with heavy upgrades (jensen oil caps, eddison speaker binding, hexfred,and so on) The amp has volume so I don't use preamp. tubes are Sylvania VT-231s and AVVT 300B tubes.
Source is a CAL IconII, cables are Zu Julian and Oxyfuel and Groneberg power cord.
Speaker is Silverline Panatella 2
I am thinking about getting a new pair of WE300Bs, but not sure if I will hear the sonic improvement. I mean is my system limited by other component? WE is expensive, but considering 40000 hrs life, it 's probably cost about the same as 2 or 3 pairs of other tubes with shorter life, but I get better (hopefully) sonic as a plus.
Anyone have tried WE300B on not a top notch amp and think if it's worth it? If WE300B is overkill, any suggestion for other tubes that also have longlife?
Thanks,
Ake
