Favorite 300B: Sophia vs KR


Which do you prefer; S.E.T. Princess 300B Carbon Plate or KR 300B WE Clone?

I've only experienced NOS 40's/50's WE so my expectations are pretty high. Which do you think captures the essence of the WE most closely? I'm trying to keep the cost down as much as possible so EAT is not an option, as much as I was blown away by their KT88. I considered current WE but they're not in production until Spring 2011.

Tvad: Seriously. Enough already. It's relative. You don't know me or my situation.
No I don't.

My point was perspective.

If you're in a financial bind, then I wish you the best getting back on your feet so you can buy what you want rather than settling for $425/pair tubes.

Happy New Year.

Well Sakahara, you impress me as being a very astute listener with a keen sense of value. So I followed your lead and purchased the same Sophia tubes. That means that if I don't like them, it's your fault. :-)

In Seriousness, being the clod that I sometimes am, I just kicked and broke one of my 300b tubes which necessitated a spontaneous decision. You know, this might sound strange but I'm actually happy it happened, otherwise I would have been torturing myself for months longer. Luck to both of us.
