I had Dennis build mine to accept 5 pin variants and my favorites are the Acme 274B and the EML 274B Mesh. Since your 2030 is probably the 4 pin flavor I would find a WE 274A (prices are not as crazy as 274B), a Takatsuki 274A (has to be custom made), or the EML 274A. The reason I know how these 4 pin variants sound is I use the WE 274A in my Inspire 45 and have tried the EML 274A, 80, and 5z3. I have also used the Full Music 274A and it is pretty nice. Believe me...any WE rectifier blows away NOS American variants and the current production models by a long shot!
