Hi DIYAUDIO forum members!
I have a question about the Full Music 300B mesh plate and especially if that tube is a good match with my Elekit TU-8600RV.
I understand that it has something to do with the measurements of the 8600 but I am far from even a little knowledgable in these matters so I was hoping to find an answer on the forum.
Does anyone have any experience with these tubes or other mesh plate tubes on an Elekit 8600? Would love to hear from you!

"Mesh plate " ?---or as they say in the UK--anode ?
I thought I recognized this term , I must have changed 100,s of those in late 30,s to start of 50,s tube/valve radios signal diodes /AVC and pre output valve ( aka known now as "driver " in SS terms ) --6B8G a tube of American original design .
I must look out my Brimar tubes as they now must be worth a "fortune " .
Yes I know---- they were not wire mesh but holes in the anode but again they had a very small anode current.
I know ---yes diy audio had a thread on them -2010.
But somebody will have to put forward a full engineering technical advantage before I am convinced ---maybe somebody can ? I am looking for real manufacturing technical advantages in engineering design not some ethereal , nebulous , constantly shifting answer.
By the way even back in 2010 they were talking of "dubious " Chinese copies.
Just to balance things up here is a "pro " mesh tube website commenting on the 300B mesh ---notice of course we are not talking of fine grid /screen mesh but "prison bars " style thickness of the mesh which would help with anode/plate dissipation of heat.
I take it this mesh is made out of the the diminishing stocks of rare/semi-rare metals ?--or maybe only for the really expensive versions?
