The Audio Gods are tough but fair-Have you had the "Curse of the 300B" ?
facten, I just read the review. It is spot on. Here’s how.The Elekit 300B kit (with upgrades) does sound clear, like "water" as Herb Reichert says. Compared to my Primaluna Dialogue HP it sounds cleaner and has a special presence. The Primaluna is...

That’s my amp!  Can’t wait to read it

Folks, this discussion is brilliant. Thank you for all the references. Aric looks super legit.

So much great intel here.  Thank you all!  I really appreciate the views, thoughts and opinions.  This is what it's all about. Among the reasons I think every audiophile should try a 300B SET, is that it really allows you to hear recordings for wh...

Lowrider what LPS did you go with?  Very curious!

The Audio Gods do make you work for it!  Also, so well said to say that "you don't get much but what you do get is ...GREAT!"

I'm going to check out Aric Audio--for curiosity's sake!Yes, and I'll say I'm probably breaking some SET gospel rules by using the REL in the system.  I have it set so low it seamlessly integrates and provides staging, depth and relaxes things nic... 
Help - I've Got the Dreaded Transformer Growl....
OP, I think that I'd try what oldears and others are saying.  Rotate the transformer.  If you haven't worked inside an amp before be sure to turn it off, unplug it and let it discharge for an hour.  
I want to be moved and have the music touch my soul!
@OP, I’m in Chicago suburbs. You’re welcome to come by to listen to some of your music or mine on my system.  I’m not suggesting my system is for you or great for everyone. But the number of brick and mortar dealers has dwindled and its hard to he... 
This Schitt is totally refreshing in the world of high end audio!
I love my Freya too! What do I have to spend to beat it?  
Really...My favorite power tube is reissue that's not widely popular
@glowworm, I hope they work out for you. Sorry to make you start “rolling” again. It’s cheaper than a therapist!  
300B Warmup versus other tube or SS amps?
@bsimpson, a bit off topic but can you share what 300b amps are your favorites? You intrigued me with your note that you’ve owned a few.  
Your ship just came in! time to buy new gear..?
I’d go with too end tannoys ($25k?), denafrips Terminator DAC, and see if I could squeeze some extra for an audio note amp.  
So disappointed in today's Americana
@OP You are spot on that this genre or category is weaker than it should be. I can find few Americana artists worth passing on to others.    One I think is about the best I've heard in a long, long time is JS Ondara.   
300B Warmup versus other tube or SS amps?
Agreed!  Very interesting. My Primaluna takes far less than the SET.
