300B
Summary:
The 300B is made in Korea modeling STC 4300B.
STC (Standard Telephones & Cables Ltd.) began as a British branch of Western Electric(WE) in the United States. Therefore, the vacuum tubes are almost the same or similar to those of WE. The 4300B vacuum tube is one example.
In short, the 4300B tube is a British version of Western Electric’s 300B (WE300B).
Unlike Western Electric, which used ribbon filaments, STC used wire-type filaments. These changes resulted in the removal of the filament center-tap.
Consequently, the sound is different from that of the WE300B, and it is well known that the sound is generally more transparent and delicate.
To reproduce this, we use a wire filament without a center tap in our 300B model.
However, for better sound quality, several improvements were applied without identical copying the previous model.
In particular, to reduce the distortion that inevitably occurs during amplification, we use our own Ladder-Type FrameGrid and Minimization of Filament End-Loss structures.
By applying these improvements, clearer sound and wide frequency characteristics were achieved.
Available in matched pairs, quad sets, and singles.
