Re: Driving "Miss" 300B

Nice to see Nick mention ECC40 - lovely sounding tube.

Anyway - back to drivers for the 300b. We had a shootout at the London
Audiocircle and the clear winner was 10Y. Also good were 46 and 71A.
2a3 and 45 are possible - neutral sound but not quite as good as the
above.

As input tube the good ones were 26, 201A and again the 10Y.

In fact 10Y > 10Y > 300b is very, very good. All the above choices
sounded better than 6SN7 or any other indirectly heated tube.

We spent hours on these listening tests over several days. Speakers
were Jordan JX92S with ribbon tweeters. Front end was a valve DAC and/
or vinyl (Garrard 301 etc). Music was orchestral, jazz and female
vocals like Joni Mitchell.
