Summary: Up for sale is a New Old Stock (NOS) matched pair of Western Electric 300B vacuum tubes, tested with results of 87/58 and 86/58, serial numbers SN-0752 and SN-0813. The 300B is one of the most legendary tubes in audio history, prized for its directly heated, oxide-coated filament design that delivers a lush midrange, smooth treble, and remarkably natural, "live" timbre. As a matched pair, these tubes offer balanced performance ideal for push-pull configurations, or paired individually in single-ended triode (SET) amplifier designs where the 300B is especially revered. A great opportunity to acquire genuine, unused NOS Western Electric tubes for a 300B-based amplifier — a true reference tube for anyone chasing that classic, musical, tube-driven sound. Test results and serial numbers are documented and available for verification.
