    Elrog 845's - are they flaky, or am I just plain unlucky?

The issues are: they are not exactly 300B and in a most amplifiers designed for WE300B specs. they may not run in the optimal oper. parameters. The inital runs of the tubes have some bugs ( as expected from early production, not sure...

    Elrog 845's - are they flaky, or am I just plain unlucky?

    ER300B ? I bought a pair from True Audiophile in January.
