| Elrog 300B vs Takatsuki 300B tubes I've had my Franks about three years and used Shuguang Black Treasures, Takatsuki's and now the second generation Elrog' 300b's without even a hickup. They are spectacular. | |

| Elrog 300B vs Takatsuki 300B tubes I use a PS Audio, P-10 power regenerator for exactly the same reason. The power in my area can range from 117v to 123v depending on the time of day. The P-10 shows you the voltage coming in and the regenerated voltage going to your equipment. It t... | |
| Elrog 300B vs Takatsuki 300B tubes Could running the 300b's at the upper end like that, shorten tube life? | |
