I have two Decware amps, the SE84UFO25 and 300B, which I play daily at different times in different rooms.
My relationship with the Decware 300B is truly ambivalent. At times, it delivers audio that takes my breath away, offering a level of detail and clarity I've rarely experienced. Yet other aspects, namely its annoying hum, frustrate me, creating a push-and-pull dynamic that's hard to ignore My relationship with the SE84UFO was love at first listen, and that continues. I have talked with Steve (monthly), and he acknowledged that the 300B hums. The big question is, can you hear it from the listening position when listening to music? In my case, it depends on what tubes I'm using. I found that different 300B tubes affect the pitch of the hum. WE 300B and Shuguang 300 B-Z hums are easier to tolerate, while the Sophia Electric tubes are not.
