Shuguang 300B-98 Power Vacuum Tube (Matched)
Need matched power tubes? Don't worry! Price includes matching in any quantity you need for no extra charge. Need a matched pair? Just order "2" tubes. For a matched quad order "4" tubes. Matched sextets and octets are available as well. The Chinese (Sino) made Shuguang 300B-98 vacuum tube is Shuguang's copy of the famous Western Electric 300B power tube. Considering the price difference, it's fair to say they've done a good job making a nice sounding affordable 300B tube. This 300B tube has a carbonized nickel anode and gold grid wiring. Shuguang has done a great job with this budget 300B tube and we suspect that's the reason they are used by many amplifier OEM's.
Be sure to read the great 300B tube review and comparison from the Wall of Sound.

Great 300B Tube
by Nick S.
Very good tube for the money. It does take a bit of time to break-in, but that does not detract from its useful tube life. I had mine for 4 years now.
300B-98: a bargain
by fab
A pleasant and musical 300B at a very reasonable price.
Very good performance for a 'stock' power tube
by Noam Bronstein
I recently reviewed the whole fleet of 300B tubes. Shuguang's 300B-98 is a tube you'll find shipping in many Chinese-made amplifiers. But that doesn't mean it should be dismissed. Actually, in many cases I think I'd look at replacing the stock input tubes and lousy caps before I touched these 300B's - they're very good sounding tubes. Musical, detailed, low noise. Only reason for rating it below 4 stars is that it was bettered in some respects by a couple of the others. For my full review see my website, www.wallofsound.ca
