Recommendation for a 300b Integrated amp
Jarrett,If you are serious about getting a 300b amp, there are some compelling choices for sale on this site. The Allnic 1500 and he's offering pair of EML XLS for an addition 400.00(a true bargain for these superb 300bs).I see a pair of Wavelengt...

Wow! just noticed a Viva 300b PSET for sale on this site. I hardly ever see these available.Viva amplifiers have very stout power supplies and very good transformers.Interesting. 
Recommendation for a 300b Integrated amp
Good suggestions above. I'd strongly consider the Audio Note Kit 300b SET with the upgraded double C core output transformers. You can have it built by Digital Pete if you don't want to build it yourself. Roxy54 has this amplifier and says its exc...

Elrog 300B vs Takatsuki 300B tubes
Oops,Rob I just remembered that you and your wife are going to be building and using the Audio Note Kit amplifier. Still, my point is the same, an excellent amplifier and speaker combination that should bring both of you much joy for many years. 
Elrog 300B vs Takatsuki 300B tubes
Hi Rob,Admittedly there are certainly other excellent options and choices in amplifiers besides a 300b SET amplifier. And within this 300b amplifier niche there are certainly other very fine choices besides the Coincident Frankenstein amplifier. I...

Zd542,As is typical , you and anyone who offers a reasonable, well thought out and intelligent reply and perspective is labeled the by now familiar right wing nut label. He is so tied into a narrow and misguided viewpoint/dogma that alternative op... 
3/3/2015 Another San Francisco Smash and grab
Zd542,You are making by far the most logical and intelligent arguement here. How anyone can support Keyseian policies at this point in time given it failures is just drinking the leftist sour Koolaid. I had to endure this type of indoctrination in... 
Elrog 300B vs Takatsuki 300B tubes
The early reports on the Elrog 300b have been consistently high praise . I like that Elrog didn't attempt to merely clone the W.E. But instead to better it sonically and go further. I had the opportunity to hear the re-issue version of the Western...

John, that is a very good bargain price for that caliber of tube. I got those tubes back in 2009 when they first hit the market and they were 600.00 a pair. They are very good 300b tubes and I used them(happily) for 2 1/2 years before I got the Ta...

I bought my EML from TubesUSA.com and the customer service is top notch. I am buying my Elrogs from them also. 
Elrog 300B vs Takatsuki 300B tubes
When I listen to very dynamic big band jazz the EML XLS really deliver the scale, power and size of the band in all of its glory. It really uncovers the full weight and textures of instruments individually and also as a full ensemble. Yet it does ...
