Antipodes DX or Aurender N10?
As I also have Antipodes DX, I’d say it’s super resolving, definitely much more than Esoteric P05 transport that I auditioned in my system. I also know two DX owners, one preferred it to Esoteric P02 the other has both dCS Scarlatti and Antipodes ...

Elrog 300B vs Takatsuki 300B tubes
I know of 2 systems that run Audio Note with Takatsuki with good results. One has 2 tubes per channel, 4 total, for about two years and had Western Electric prior to Takatsuki. The other system has 2 tubes for over a year. I don't remember AN's mo... 
Elrog 300B vs Takatsuki 300B tubes
Dracule1, please keep us updated on Elrog in Lampizator Golden Gate! Did you have a junior model Lampi before?My Lampi came with EML 45 Mesh. I might try PSVANE WE 101D replica on it and Takatsuki but this will not be any time soon, need extensive... 
Elrog 300B vs Takatsuki 300B tubes
Snopro, how many hours did you have on both pair of tubes when you compared them? The reason I am asking is that it's crucial.Takatsuki requires 150 hours of burn in. 100 hours minimum from my own experience with many pairs of these tubes in vario...

Elrog 300B vs Takatsuki 300B tubes
Takatsuki needs 150 hours burn in according to web knowledge. Up until 60-70 hours Takatsuki may sound nothing special compared to burned in great tubes, some say 100 hours. BTW, what's recommended burn in for Elrog?

I have Lampizator Big 7 as well. But I use 45s, the best of them, Cunningham, and then the best of that.Please keep us posted how it develops. Have you tried any other tubes on Lampi Big 7, including any other 300Bs?Just as Charles1dad I upgraded ... 
Elrog 300B vs Takatsuki 300B tubes
The Elrog has a different internal impedance, gain and filament type to a conventional 300B. Internal impedance (resistance) is approx 900R vs 700R, gain is higher than a standard 300B and the filament is thoriated tungsten type vs oxide type. It ... 
Elrog 300B vs Takatsuki 300B tubes
Brownsfan, thank you and I agree with your points and hats off to people behind Elrog and Takatsuki. Charles1dad's and your experience with Elrogs in Franks is very good news for owners of Franks, me included. They are cheaper than Takatsuki after... 
Update on my Coincident Dynamo 34SE
May I suggest you physically move the amp away from any transformers that can interfere with each other.Also make sure it is indeed the amp. But start with moving various components away from each other, far away if needed, see if it changes the h... 
Elrog 300B vs Takatsuki 300B tubes
I don't mean sonically. Although mismatch can lead to severe sonic compromise or high hum level with sensitive speakers or something else. Elrog is NOT a drop in replacement. Its specs are NOT compliant with WE's specs, like its plate resistance a...
