K1000 + Air Tight ATM-300

The fantastic AVVT 300B c37
This is the last 300B I have tested on my setup... yes, the last because I don't think I'd can find any 300B better. This tube beats all the others 300B I have, unfortunately very rare to find another NOS pair like this, but this tube has a 40.000 hs life time !!!- Nik

The incredible JJ Tesla 300B
Yes, I'm very surprised how the cheapest tube is the best performance (at the moment) on my setup. The JJ Tesla 300B on the Cary/HD650/Equinox is simply incredible, all the other 300B tested at this moment are colored and muffled... Next comparison will be with AVVT C37 and Full Music solid.- Nik

Sophia Princess vs WE 300B
After a very long test with these two kind of 300B on my Cary CAD SEI, I must admit that the Princess are better matched with the sound of the setup (HD650/Equinox).
