There is a RK KR 5U4G for sale right now on USAM. He had two, I bought the brand new one a few minutes ago.

BTW, my understanding is, there are no RK editions for sale anymore, unless you can find someone with new old stock (unlikely). Those were limited editions made a while ago. At least that is what a dealer told me.

@ColSaulTigh How does KR 300B compare vs Elrog MO / WE300B?

The KR-300B Riccardo Kron Anniversary Editions are big and bold, but with more top end than the WE300B. Paired with KR-5U4G Riccardo Kron Anniversary Edition rectifiers they're bass monsters. Having said that, they're nowhere near as clean and precise as the Elrogs. In my mind, it goes:

Elrog

KR/RK

Takatsuki 300B
.
EML 300B/320B/520B
.
EML 300B Mesh
.
Western Electric 300B

.
Sophia Royal Princess 300B (might as well listen to wind chimes)
.
PS Vane 300B (stock tubes)


I'm sure I'm forgetting something in there, but that just shows how memorable they are....
