I assembled SUN 2A3 amp for my friend and found it to be quality kit  and very easy assemble. Kit was old .I think late 90's so maybe quality deteriorated since then. I have variety of 300b Czech tubes and (Eml 300b , KR 300BLX 842VHD ) bought them to build 300b Melquiades but compression drivers buing frenzy is draining all modest resources I have. Lstening to those tubes I have to agree with Adrian assesment . The thing which attracted me to them was AA tube guys opinion that they sound solid state . They expressed the same opinion about6C33C so I fthght that this DHT will fit in the schema of things.
Back to topic I found VT52 to be the best sounding tube, harmonically rich, dimmensional with full seductive midrange withouto little histerical qualities of tubes like 45, 6A3 . In Sun kit it sounded considerably better (to me ) with simple DC 6.3V filament than 6A3 and 45 amp .
