Elrog 300B vs Takatsuki 300B tubes

Timmvinyl:

Hi and thanks for the compliment on the amp :) I am listening to it as I type this. I have never had the privilege of hearing your amp but I know it has a large following :) You are correct in that the Reimyo was designed around the WE300B but I personally think that some of these newer tubes may have surpassed the WE tubes.

Can't wait t read your take on the Takatsuki's vs the Elrogs. NOS W.E. 300B's (not the reissues) have gone for as much as $6K. I will not be spending $6k on 2 tubes LOL!!!

Markus1299,

Are you using your P10 on all of your components, including the amplifiers?

Dmarkov,

Yes, my entire system is plugged into the P10 and it indicates that I am using 54% of it's capacity.

I received my Elrog replacement tubes and I'm listening to them now. It's funny how much I enjoyed the EML XLS while waiting for the Elrogs. The Elrogs raise the holistic/presence factor from the EML's already high standard. Both are wonderfully dynamic and energetic with lively involvement. The Elrogs are more fluid, organic and provide just a bit more sense of 3 dimensional space, you are there factor. Beautiful natural tone!
As I've said before, it's a move from excellent to the sublime. Time and use will determine reliability and longevity merit. It nails the sound quality portion. George of tubesusa.com has been simply terrific during this period wih his service and support. Thank You.
