Pure silver I can assure you. Tomas say no extra charge.

I thought that Odyssey will be my last tube amp but this 300b amp is a killer. I have to find a way to get Tomas to build me a 300b amp a year after Odyssey.

I even put in my Mullard GZ32 and I can hear quite a change in tone. Tube rectifiers are not just AC/DC !

I'm actually building an Infinity with 300B's after I build your Odyssey

Nice ! 300b with parafeed? I wonder who's the lucky owner. 300b tubes have a distinct mid centric loveliness. I love vocals and there's no better tube than the 300b for vocals. Even with these cheap Psvane 300b, the sound is great !

Yes, 300B with parafeed output. It'll be a fun project!

You're having too many fun projects in a row. 2021 will be a special year for you. Your website will have a lot more pictures in a few months time.

When you finished your 300b I'll be your tester and I'll bring this skull along.

You want me to spend more on Odyssey do you? Do you know that Odyssey is now close to a million?

What's that to such an aficionado as yourself UT?!!

Just for the output wires, ie those going from the output tubes to the output jacks on the chassis, in effect an extension of the external headphone cable in an effort to preserve the purity of the signal going direct to the headphones.

I didn't expect it to have such an effect after the UP-OCC copper which I liked very much but the effect was quite impressive.

Re: your forthcoming relapse, there must be some medicine you could take.. on the other hand it's not such a bad fate .

Given such a relatively short run of the silver, just imagine what much longer ones throughout the system can achieve lol!

Re. medicine, I had hoped my final succumbing to some Hennessy XO brandy might just do the job, but given my disappointment with it compared to 30 odd years ago am not quite so sure now!!...

And this doesn't bode well for my resolve either ST...

Ha ! So the 300b is for you.... CJ I'm finally coming to UK and it's because of the 300b !

You had to have the gold plated one...

This is mine:

Looks a bit like the robot in AI.

Edit: That 300B amp looks interesting. I've heard about a 300B that didn't sound like the typical one but more like a SS amp, obviously the circuit it is in will influence sound. I wonder if sonic is serious what a 300B would sound like with all the FET's, parafeed and so on!

Infinity sounds nothing like a SS amp. The 300B in Infinity will sound just like a 300B was meant to sound in its linear region.

Oh I didn't know if you were joking!

A 300B with it's characteristic tube sound together with the new design principles, sounds incredibly exciting.

I can already hear the sounds of UT and hypnos1 entering into their relapse, I myself am teetering on the brink.

 

[SonicTrance]

I'm not joking baron! I don't joke about about tubes!

I'm not joking baron! I don't joke about about tubes!

Neither do I joke about tubes. Rubbing my hands with glee now but I will focus on Odyssey first while I watch you create the Infinity 300b - it's got to have a better name !

Cannot wait for more details (and photos, when done)!!!
With my current amp collection - I think 300b (or 2a3) amp would complement my lineup... hmmm....
@SonicTrance - how bad is the leadtime now for a new amp build?

Omg Zachik, you're more of an amp mafia and even @whirlwind will agree.

300b or 2A3 mmmmm tasty. @hypnos1 you ready to dive back in now? You do know you need a tube amp right? At least one.

About an hour ago, the KT77 was delivered to my house by my friend. After 2 days he took the 300b amp away. I've been mainly listening to vocals in the past 2 days because He1000 v2 powered by the 300b amp is nigh perfect with vocals.

As soon as I switch over to the KT77 amp, I knew straight away that I'm missing the 300b tone badly. The more relaxed, full body tube tone and organic sound is no longer there, replaced by the tighter, harder hitting KT77. The change was not subtle. Whilst after an hour, I start to enjoy the the KT77 with HE1000 v2, I know I am missing the voluptuous tone of the 300b. In time I'll forget about the 300b.... no I won't forget.

Here is the KT77 with the HE1000 v2. Morale of the story is never listen to a 300b amp. It's like David chance encounter of seeing Bathsheba bathing.
