I don't remember any longer, and don't want to throw someone's name out here erroneously. In all fairness, it was over a period of time several years ago but it left a bad taste in my mouth.Where did you purchase them?

I'd love to hear from someone who has run JJ 2A3-40s daily for more than 2-3 years.
I´v got a stash of three pairs of the JJ2A3-40 bought in early 2012 ( the first issues with ceramic tube base/socket )my first pair is still in operation after about 8 years in the Sun Audio SV 2a3 and shows no sign of detoration.
Have had them tested in an AVO Mk IV for about 3 years ago and they still tested fine.
The JJ 2A3 are not the last word in detail and neither was the pair of EML 2A3 mesh plates I once tried out.
re: top level EML/KR/Sophia
The EML 2A3 mesh plates did not sound any better than the JJ2A3-40 in my system (sun audio) and
the Sophia Princess 300B did not cut it either for me in my WE 91B clone (sound explorer-japan) with tamura output transformers the JJ 300B
was way more in my taste,would love to try the KR power triode tubes some day!
Tubes are very individual preferences!
