I have a pair of Takatsuki 300B's in my Cortese. I put my Cetron 300b's aside in case I ever want to use them again. The takatsuki's are wonderful. If the WE300b market continues to explode it's a good alternative.

Hi - I'm quite ignorant of Shindo stuff - have never hear it - but am attracted to it from all that I've ready. I'm also curious. The Cortese F2a uses rare tubes - has anybody heard both the F2a and the 300B version of the Cortese and able to comment on any differences in their sound ?

I know the F2a version has global feedback, tending to reduce the impact of the output tube details on the exact sound - anybody know if the 300B version is of the same basic design, or if it is free of feedback ?

Does anyone know the technical detail of the different Cortese versions? And more importantly, how did the sonic character change over the versions?

I'm talking about the f2a versions. I think there are 3.

1. 2 x F2a tubes + 2 x 6aw8a
2. 2 x F2a tubes + 4 x 6aw8a
3. 2 x F2a tubes + 2 x ecl82 + tube rectifier (5u4gb???).

Hey Everyone,

I was wondering if the Cortese 300b would be good match for my Devore O/96s.

Actually I am looking for recommendations for best Shindo amp for the O/96s, any thoughts. Art Dudley believes that shindo amps don't have an hierarchy, is that true. I have read most of the posts on this site on the shindo forum so I do know that WE300b is not the way to go, but what is the best amp for O/96s ?

P.S: Apologies for adding to this thread, it seems I don't have the privilege on this site to start a new thread.
