Hi All,
It's always exciting when a new company decides to dive into the foray of vacuum tube production.
Takatsuki is the newest player that I'm aware of in what we can call the luxury tube market.
So, any thoughts on these new beauties? The 274B is getting a lot of play on the Lampizator Horizon Dac.
I haven't heard anything about their 2a3, and not much more about their 300B.
How about a rating on a scale of 1 to 10. with 10 being the original WE300B? Our pairs are slated for arrival in July
when we'll toss in our 2 cents.
Feel free to put in your favorites. In my world, I traditionally prefer the 45, 2a3, GM70, the 250TL and the 450TL where output
tubes are concerned...the new KT170, I've found to be an advance in that type of tube, traditionally found in pp output stages.
The number of tubes that are over-looked is staggering, but these 3 new players from Takatsuki might be an indicator of things to come
given what appears to be a well established and capitalized company.
