User Feedback for S.E.T. Princess™ 300B Mesh Plate Tubes - By Alex, California (November 2006)
Sophia Electric Princess 300B mesh plate tubes are the best 300B's I have ever heard. I only had about 80 hours on them and they are already better than the TJ 300B mesh plate. I also compared the princess to Svetlana 300B, Sovtek 6A3, Sovtek 300B, Alesa VV30B, Alesa VV302B, and JJ 300B, and the princess came out ahead of them all. The Princess 300B mesh plate tubes give a very coherent, detailed, natural sound that all instruments come out very distinct but yet natural. Wood instruments come out very close to a real wood instruments, piano pieces come out like a real piano. My friends like them very much. They call them very natural sounding and less hi-fi. At first, I did not quite understand what they meant, then I finally realized that their definition of hi-fi means exaggerated dynamics and instruments, things that blows on you, well, the princess is not like that, the princess give you music not noise.
