Headphone Tube Amps - The hunt for all 300B TUBE AMPS

No I didn't but I want to. That's why I want to trade my Elrogs for WE300B.

The Feliks Envy 25th Anniversary Edition comes with Elrog ER300B. I will have them anyways.

So instead of 2 pairs of ER300B, I'd like to Have 1 pair of Elrogs and 1 pair of WE
This is the way.

WE300 is not that bad. Elrog beats it in every category except sweet mid-range and holographic presentation. Elrog is a F1 racer and the WE300 is a Bentley. If you want dynamic, speed, super detail the Elrog but want to slow down and enjoy a smooth ride the WE300.
thus far I am very much enjoying the WE300b but am also open to the elrog...that said the elrog Is so expensive and only has a one year warranty that isnt transferable while the WE has a 5 yr warranty which is important with tubes...at least to me

For what it’s worth I’ve had to replace 2 WE300 tubes and only one Elrog and that was because the amp had an issues.

I hear you and was not suggesting the elrog is not dependable I am only suggesting it is super expensive and only has a one year warranty which cannot be transferred and seems to be very hard to obtain while the WE300b has a 5 yr warranty and would be easier to get fixed

Completely agree with you there. Thank goodness the WE has the warranty.

Good luck trying to get WE to cover a claim outside or 90 days. The extra warranty must be filled out and submitted within a short period of time to be eligible. Also not transferable.

Elrog is solid on customer service, reliability issues were mainly due to how NA distributor was shipping to customers. I sent Thomas my tube in the same box and packing materials as I received it, he was very frank on how crap or a job I did in sending, I told him that is how O received it, he apologized and made a comment of that is why he is no longer working with distributors.

Agreed. Frankly speaking the new WE300B is very good with sweet mid and better imaging than Elrog. The Elrog is not a typical 300B but an all round performer, though not sounds as "tuby" as WE.

I concur. Both the WE300B and ER300B are excellent, and completely different. The fact we have two amazing New Production options is just flat out awesome.

then there's wa33 EE can't use 300b, 2a3b only...... sniff but alas Kr or electrolux, or Takatsuki are pretty cool too?

all of the elrog's or just the very expensive ones?
The ER are tremendous and Mo and TM are a different level.

With that said, I know your listening preference and knew you would like the WE300B.
You might like the AN4300E although I believe you'd favor WE.

To those who owned all 3, I would love to hear some impression of Takatsuki vs WE and Elrogs.
While being very tempted to get WE down the road, I might have a chance to get my hands on Takatsuki, so yeah, rather curious.

And damn, that WE blue glow is something else.
