[QUOTE="Andre Vermeulen, post: 798752, member: 2569"] Just to clarify my comment....it's less about sound than it is reliability.The number of tube failures due to poorer construction can be read all over the show.A genuine Western Electric 300b had a predicted lifespan of 40 000hrs.....no tube being made currently can enter that arena and many out of the box failures do occur.....lifespan is of some importance I reckon when spending big money. (To me it's big money but of course not necessarily to others.) [/QUOTE]
