I have to laugh, in the description of the LV300B valves it says, "We have increased the emission on this latest batch to good effect." ?? That clearly looks like an admission that the previous batches of these uber high end valves had insufficient emission! So on the one hand we have comments like "Tube rolling to the nth degree", "Strict specifications", and the normal, dripping, 'audiophool speak' about sound quality, and on the other hand, effectively, "We are still in a product development stage". Hmm, but charging lots of dosh for you to be part of their learning curve. There's a similar story about the WE300B valve. Although in fairness this time they admit that they don't know what's going on, quote; "Perhaps it’s the graphene-coated anode, who knows,...". Then there's the giveaway poor English; "This is a modern, open, wide bandwidth sound yet with grace, poise and impeccable manners." The "yet" clearly not needed or - to my mind - suggesting that a modern, open, wide bandwidth sound does not go with grace, poise and impeccable manners.
