Some people have told me that 300b amps sound better when the driver tube is a pentode (I am not sure why). I guess this was the case in the WE91 circuit. Do others agree with this? If so, why? I am looking at eventually buying a nice 300b amp. I may have one made for me, perhaps by Min of Tube Audio Lab, or I may try to pick up a used one. Most of the used ones I find, however, are driven by triodes like the Bottlehead Paramounts v. 1 (12AT7) or Welbourne Labs (6SL7). Do you think looking for something driven by a pentode would be worthwhile - I am hoping this purchase will curb my upgraditis for some time - thus, I am taking my time.
