    My first integrated tube amp suggestions

    Galion would be a nice 1st Amp but the PrimaLuna EVO 300,400 would be my 1st choice of the two brands. For your $2500 take a look at quality Japan build from ELEKIT or Sunvalley (Point-Point wiring): https://www.diyaudio.com/community/forums/elekit.134/

    Schiit Freya + vs Sonic Frontiers SFL-1

    I have and would look into ELEKIT TU-8550 Pre-Amp or Sunvalley (in the ELEKIT thread) that designs Real Tube Gear that does not dip its toes into the Argon Zone. https://www.diyaudio.com/community/threads/elekit-tu-8550-pre-amplifier.385135/

    PrimaLuna EVO and Tube Rolling

    I would be looking at these places 1st before eBay. Upscale Audio, Tubemonger, Tubedepot, Viva Tubes. I have purchased Tubes on eBay from BULLzTUBEz, but anyone on eBay, you NEED to purchase a Tube Tester to verify the tubes. Plus, a TT should be in one's life with Tube gear.

    Willsenton R300 voltage "pulsing"

    Since it was Amazon, are you still in the Return period? I thought Willsenton has a repair company in the US, but I would ask if you pay for shipping round trip.

    Willsenton R300B SE Integrated Amp #2

    The Audio Note hold the 300B better. I use a Marantz 7T to burn in my films hooked into a Wiim Pro Plus for the music source. 630V+ is good as to the Brand of Film being used.
