Howdy, all. I have been off the site for many years and am just returning. My 17-year-old CD player recently bit the dust which got me back into the search mode. I decided it was time to upgrade and downsize my gear. I came across reviews of the R300 and ordered one on December 13th from China HiFi Audio since Amazon was about 5-6 weeks out to ship one. The amp arrived in Denver on December 21st and I was able to bring it home yesterday after some local delays by the shipping company. It arrived in excellent condition. It is as described by other owners and reviewers in terms of apparent build quality and aesthetics. It is a lovely piece. I have only been running it for a few hours so a lot of break-in time ahead. I have owned tube amps (Jolida, AirTight, Conrad Johnson, KR Audio) but this is my first long-desired 300B. I cannot make a fair comparison to my old gear since I also recently changed out my speakers, cables, and IC's, but I can say I am very much enjoying what I am hearing, so far. I am planning on rolling in a pair of PSVANE T-Series CV181-TII's after the holidays.
Looking forward to more listening and reading posts from other R300 owners.
Cheers,
Rick
