Took out the 1940 GE's and popped in these babies for a try.

Not as warm and wooly as the GE's. More detail and resolution while maintaining sweetness.

If they don't die an early death like their 300b Brothers, I think we will have a winner.

Mike,

These Elrog 211's look nice! Did your 300B's have an early death or are they still good?

Best,
Ken

I don't know why I hate the look of thoriated tungsten filaments. The amps are beautiful.

I'm back to the NOS GE 211's tonight (circa 1940's), military grade.

The Elrog's are good for a modern production tube, but they can't touch NOS GE 211's.

Awesome Mike. What is your fave source through the 211s - the r2r or your TT?
 
Gorgeous, Mike! I'm simultaneously intrigued and not wanting to know!

Guess I better start saving some some elrogs for when my own 211s come in...

Perhaps an obvious question, but had the elrogs had a fair chance to burn in?

Probably not. I think they need more hours. But I don't see their sonic signature changing that much. They are good - very good - more detailed, perhaps a little sweeter, but overall, I love the GE's.

A while back I'd gotten my hands on some very limited production Shuguang 211-b tubes (like the awesome value 845b) and compared them with NOS GE and preferred the Shuggies.

That was in a Melody AN211 integrated I owned... I wonder how they'd do in the Lampizator 211 bal...

Probably a moot point as I think they're unobtanium without a following.
