Title: Decware 300B Tubes!
Post by Steve Deckert on 03/29/24 at 21:46:21

I am pleased to announce that we have our own 300B tube now. It comes as a result of over a year of testing. It is my pick/favorite sound of my collection. All of the tubes I've been testing are great with the WE300B leading the way followed by the Cryotone, but the WE300B is super transparent and neutral, and the Cyrotone is bold and dynamic. Both are also pricey. I wanted something a bit more laid back with a more addictive midrange and less expensive. These are my ear candy 300B tubes. They make you want to listen because they have just the right color.

Congrats Steve!

How close in performance are these compared to the stock 300Bs that come as an option with the amp?

They have more color and are a bit silkier. These tubes have a happy sound.

Steve,
Exciting news! Are these going to be the tubes supplied with the amp moving forward?

They will be yes.

The million dollar question is, where and how are these being made, and how is the sound being tweaked?

Nice to have a Decware 300b offering! The inside plate and construction looks the same as the Linlai and Psvane 300b’s with white bases.

Geno,

The 300B's are made by Linlai. We have a contract that includes specifications and extra quality control and premium packaging. You can Paypal us the million dollars, thank you.

Hi Steve. Sorry for the wording. It sounded more like an accusation than a question. Thanks for the answer.

Best,

Geno

Steve,
Do these tubes also draw 160 mA like the WE 300Bs? I have GZ32 rectifiers that I would love to be able to use with them.
Thanks!

Not sure if this helps but they both draw 60 mA of plate current on the spec sheets.

Forgot to mention I was using the Linlai 300b spec sheet

Thanks Hearafter! That answers my question.
