Decware 300B Tubes!
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.

We have a contract that includes specifications and extra quality control and premium packaging. You can Paypal us the million dollars, thank you.
