Headphone Tube Amps - The hunt for all 300B TUBE AMPS
I am in the process of buying the Elrog ER300B-Mo. I already have the Western Electric 300B and the Elrog ER300B. I know the Elrog ER300B-Mo are supposed to be the ‘brighter’ version of the ER300B. To me the WE300B sounds ‘brighter’ than the ER300B. Be aware, sounding more bright differs from...- wjhen

Erzetich Charybdis
That is very interseting. I did expect them to be in the same league. Could you please explain in what way the Charybdis and the Hifiman HE1000SE are different. I ask this because you state to prefer the Charybdis over the Hifiman HE1000 is a question of preferences. Please expand on the...- wjhen

When I use the tube rectifier I would get the more 'retro' sound I described - slow, romantic, lush etc. When I switch to SS PSU, it sounds more like a modern SET amp. Maybe in your case it works that way. But you can create a slow, romantic lush sound with SS rectification, and a 'modern'sound...- wjhen

I have to react to this. I should be very careful with the statement a more retro and classical tube sound when you describe the Western Electric 300B.

I stumbled upon this thread in Head-fi. I see a great admiration for Elrog 300B tubes. For more than over a year I use the Elrog 300B and Elrog 5U4G is my Border Patrol 300B SE amplifier, I also use an Elrog 274B in my Lampizator Atlantic TRP. To conclude, In all places I can use an Elrog tube...- wjhen
