Ok C2300 owner here too. I have Gold Lion on the line stage which performs and sound incredible and a pair of Telefunken smooth plate on the MC stage and that too sound very sweet.

Also using the GLs and some NOS Siemens on my C22. The Lions have been solid, quiet and good-sounding for a relatively modest outlay, a nice improvement over the noisier Psvanes I have used until now.

Same here with a C500T, but I opted for the other way around - Gold Lion on the MC stage and Telefunken on the line stage.

I have no idea how many hours are on my gold lion tubes , they still sound excellent after 7 years. I should probably order new ones and change them before I have a problem

David.......BnB Tubes seems to be scaling back. Their eBay store doesn have any Gold Lion 12AX7's.
