They seem OK to me. Retrofitted to at least one of my amplifier designs where they worked fine, and have continued to do so for over a year.. (PP 300B monos now owned by a third party) Have heard in several other amps as well. These are actually made and marketed by TJ out of Tianjian China, and is good quality stuff..

I have a pair FM 300b solid with 80 hour and begin to listen the bass a little loud over the rest of the frequencies, compared with the 211 tube in my other amp. Any more have similar experience?

Yes, my 300B have a stronger bass, too.

Solid plates give solid bass, while mesh plates give transparency and open sound stage, you might know.

Just kidding about this kind of snake oil babble .

Best regards!

I have always found the FM to have a strange sound which I think is related to their structure ringing quite a lot. They seem to ring a lot in upper bass/lower mids area which results in an boomy muddy sound. The way they are mounted on the chassis and insulation from vibrations is critical.

Can I suggest a different one? Gold Lion PX300B. For me it's the best "affordable" 300B on the market. It also compares very well with more expensive types so much that it can well be a definitive choice....

If you can find it, I would just go with the valve art 300b. Its basically a cheap rebranded shuguang except the valve art seems to be much more reliable. IDK if they are cherry picked tubes or what, but I have a couple pairs that have lasted through many prototypes and still test darn near new.

I had very good luck with the Psvane Hi-Fi, their cheapest model. Very clean and musical for the money. As mentioned above, though, the Gold Lion is a very good 300B, plenty of texture and a solid presentation.
