Elrog 300B vs Takatsuki 300B tubes
Pani,Your reply is interesting. I thought when you got the FM Acoustics amplifier it was the solution for increased power needs you desired. Long term listening will eventually sort things out. I recall you were very happy with the FM Acoustics in...

Rebbi has been emphatic regarding the new sonic discoveries heard with the amp with familiar music(three listening session notes on his blog). There's no logical reason not to expect a properly functioning amp to sound better than one that's defec...

Rebbi had the amp tested by a qualified tech who confirmed markedly decreased power output.The amp struggled with a Tekton speaker that was then easily driven by a 3 watt 2A3 SET. brownsfan has very successfully driven the De Capo with 2 different...

I'm very curious to know what Pete discovers for this rare type of abnormality. It will be educational. 
Tekton Seas Pendragon amp recommendations?
Hello Robert, I have never heard a bottle head amplifier but they do have a very solid reputation for good engineering and very good sound quality at a very fair price. I would recommend if you do decide to go with bottlehead to spend a few more d...

Pani,Your Wavac EC 300b is held in the highest regard. I recall you got a FM Acoustics amplifier to drive your Tannoys. Needless to say, those two amplifiers are very different. I imagine you enjoy both of them.Charles,

Oh I see you have the Merlins. How is the LD SET compared to your Wavac MD 300b?

Swampwalker,I have read good things about that amplifier, what speaker are you using with them? 
Elrog 300B vs Takatsuki 300B tubes
The Elrog will be the 11th 300b that I will hear in my amplifier. I can tell you that each of the previous 10 tubes sonic character was easily sorted out with the Frankenstein. Bill and I have the same amplifier and line stage, so his positive end...

Randy, I will have the chance to hear a pair of the Elrogs in about one or two weeks. One thing I have come to learn is the preference for a particular tube is dependent somewhat on the amplifier and it's circuit. For example I know people who hav...

Hi Pani,I thought you sold your Wavac EC 300b amp because you sought more power for your Tannoys. I recall that you did enjoy that amplifier.Charles,
