About WE300B NOS, I was told that the older the production date, the better the sound, and that WE300A is far better than WE300B. I guess few have the money to be able to do the A/B comparison.    The 90's and 00's WE300B seem to get a bad reputation. I wonder what the new WE300B will turn out...

Can speaker amps drive HE1000?   Many prefer speaker amp to head amp for HE6. Is it the same for HE1000? THanks. 

Ok. Thanks. :)

Hi, for WE422a, is there any difference in performance among those made in different years? As far as I know, there are three versions: those with round getters; those with square getters and black plate; and finaly the earliest with square getters and grey plate. Thanks. 

So what is the amplification factor of C3g(s) in triode mode? Thanks. 

  Not yet. Thanks a lot. I have already bought a Lampizator Big 7 which is really great and it has preamp built in.   Right now I am using First Watt J2 to drive Lowther/Voxativ and the sound is clean and musical. I am thinking to try a tube amp. WA5 is on the list since I can also experience...

Thanks everyone for the recommendation on WA5. Also many thanks on the tube advice! I am not in U.S. and I can found a used WA5 locally but not the maxxed version. Not sure if I should try the buy/sell forum.   I have ordered a pair of Elrog 300B on the way. Picked up one Brimar 5Z4GY locally...

Hi,   New here and this is truly a long thread! Anyhow, I am planning to buy a WA5 and am wondering which current production 300B works best for WA5. My local dealer has EML and Psvane WE300B replica. I am thinking about Elrog also. How would you rate them?   Also, if I am on a tight budget...
