My 300Bs are solid plate. I experienced a bubbling sound with my 2A3 Mesh. I likened the sound to an old outboard motor running. The sound was intermittent and gradually dissipated as the tubes got older. This now makes me wary of EML but I am already to far down this hole.
The "puffing" was a joke by me to both, @pippen99 & @Roasty because they were both hearing the same noises with their tubes, then the noises went away for both of them at the same time.
I currently run the solid plate EML 2A3's in my WA33 and have in the past as well with my prior WA33 without any noise issues whatsoever.
I’ve used EML tubes in my WA6SE, WA5LE and now WA33 with no issues. I do get the occasional ping or pop but I think that is just tubes heating up and such.
I'm using the full array of totl tubes and love the KR sound. During warm up the tubes let through hum on headphones like Empyrean. The 1266 is quite. I'm surprised the KR have really good bass. When I opened them I was thinking these wouldn't have the bass of Psvane acme tubes but they do.
Thanks for that input!
Placed and order today at a local shop and got it delivered in a half hour.
I have it powered off an AQ niagara 1200, fed from wall by an AQ tornado high current with an SR orange. From niagara to amp, I'll be using an AQ tornado source also with SR orange.
I totally forgot I had it in there!
Added a clock to my sotm streamer recently.
Give me a few more days. Will try and swap back the original fuse and have a listen this weekend.
You have to find right tubes. I got the expensive KR tubes but like the cheaper Psvane acme tubes. Now KR are still brand new only 5 hours of use. The Psvane sound more ss and KR are more warmth and lush. So I think it's genre related.

didn't know it sounds more SS than KR Tubes. now i must get them as i tend to listen to J-pop/EDM a lot xD that being said KR Tubes are good for Bass when i feel it.
what about the Takatsuki, what does it sound like? in between these two? or even warmer than KR?
I have been a long-time user of SR fuses: from the Blue to the Orange (that upgrade made a little over a year ago). I put the SROs in the Audiolab 6000CDT, Woo WA3, Woo WA6, external power supply for Liquid Platinum. [I did not put one in the DAC because of its very robust build.] What the SROs deliver for me is: greater dynamic range, cleaning/tightening of mid bass response, more ambience recovery with more natural decay.
