"Please tell me how different in sound and signature between your 5U4G mesh plate, 5U4G solid plate, and 274B mesh plate......? Because they look drfferent in your website picture......Thank for the help......"
EML replied

(What......really......?? in my head)
"We have began to reduce the size of the glass, inside are all the same. 274B is one of the earlist to start with"

To be honest I am glad they don't make claims to how they should sound. You can tell how they perform based on their technical data.

True. But, the reply seems to suggest that gentleman from the EML is clueless about their own product..

When I called Sophia, a middle age female pick up the phone, seens she was just a random person in the company. She told me right off the back how Princess mesh will sound compare to their soild plate of same tube...... I was asking for a technician.........she was right........ I felt shamed, and should not prejudge people.

Be assured, this is a completely absurd rumor!

From EML:
"Our target: We want to save the HiFi world from having to use solid state devices! We will supply the best sounding triodes, with the highest possible mechanical and electrical quality."
A company which is committed to such a philosophy, knows very well how good their product is. Anyway, the question in the mentioned email wasn't very intelligent, therefore one should not take it too seriously.
Well I agree with EML, I wouldn't expect them to say it is lush sounding with deep bass... because how can you even test that? In one person's system, it may be lush sounding, but in another's persons setup it may be the opposite. It's kind of like asking Toyota how well their car will handle on ice... it completely depends on the person driving it. They can give you a general idea from a technical/mechanical standpoint, but they probably would be wary of saying it'll handle like a dream.

Haha yeah, it was funny too.
How well do you handle on a snowboard?
About the same as how I handle on the ice?
BTW my dad listened to my WA22 a couple of days ago and he really liked it. I played some Rolling Stones for him. He was surprised to see tubes, he said he hasn't seen them since he was a kid!

He's 62 I believe.
It was pretty funny, as he was listening he kept talking, but you know when you have huge headphones on, you talk louder than normal? He was pretty much yelling, "I REALLY LIKE THIS SONG. IT SOUNDS GOOD. PUT A DIFFERENT SONG ON. THESE ARE COMFORTABLE."
