Elrog 300B vs Takatsuki 300B tubes

Has anyone heard the Elrog 300B tubes ? I read an article which mentioned that the Elrog 300B delivers 15% less power than a traditional 300B tubes. Can anyone confirm that it is audible ?

I am choosing between Elrog and Takatsuki 300B tubes. I would prefer the Elrog because it is cheaper and supposedly wonderful but if it really sounds less powerful then I have to rethink.

Hi Joe, how can one get hold of George Lenz?

I'm surprised you're still sticking with the Elrogs. Metthias posted awhile back the Franks run the Elrogs near the edge if not above the recommended specs for 300Bs. I hope your second set lasts.

Dracula1, To be clear the first set didn't fail. George took them back for a new set that better matched my Frank's higher voltages.

George is great to work with and he stands behind his tubes!

Common autocorrect mistake, LOL. I'm not a vampire. I swear! Dracule means "son of the dragon".

Anyways, I'm glad George was able to accommodate your needs. I didn't know Elrog made higher voltage version.
