The Cary Audio 300SEI is an an integrated with a headphone output. It used to be somewhat popular for headphones but you don’t here it talked about anymore.

The "B" in the Eddie Current Studio B stands for 300B... Also "B" for "Badass," but I'll spare you my speculation on that.

Correct on website its states:

"Eddie Current Announces New Run of Studio B in 300B OR 2A3 Version"

With the demand for the Studio B, Eddie Current will run a limited number of amps in 2022 and was able to modify the new run to accommodate either a 300B or 2A3 version
