RE: 300b amps

If the 300B is the driver tube it's kind of a waste - the amp typically sounds the way the final output tube sounds so if the final tube is an 845 or 211 then it probably should be compared to other 845/211 tubes.

I have not been much of a fan of 300B 8 watt SET amps as I prefer the more ballsy 211/2a3 variants. The new Audio Note Meishu Tonmeister is the only exception and the only 300B amp I have truly loved. I was not a fan of the former Meishu. The problem is the 5 figure price tag.

I would not fixate on the tube type - just the sound - if you like it who cares about the tubes - or even if it has tubes. I'd rather listen first before any preconceived bias about the design creeps in. Granted very tough to do.
