Hi K11 Hing,
I have not yet tried GE211, so I am afraid I cannot make any comment on it.
For Psvane WE211, Elrog ER211 and KR211, I personally prefer KR211 over the other two.
Psvane WE211 has very good value-for-money. It has significant improvement over the stock 211 of Jinro in all aspects and can deliver a warmer sound, stronger bass and better sound stage. I regard the price tag and the ability to deliver a comfortable mid-range, especially on vocal, are its strengths.
The ER211 and KR211 are on another level though. Both are a big step forward over the Psvane WE211. However, I found the way they improve the listening experience is quite different.
To make it short, the sound delivered by ER211 has very good balance in all sound range. It is a very quite tube and has very appealing analytical power with clean, pure bass. Overall feeling is that it has more "hifi" sound.
On the other hand, KR211 is similar to ER211 in nearly all aspects but seems to have a little bit stronger and well-defined bass but slightly less analytical power, which makes it sound warmer and less "hifi".
After all, it all comes down to personal taste and preference in choosing which one you like.
Btw, I noted that Elrog has recently issued a drop-in replacement for 211 tube, named ER242C. According to Thomas Mathew, it is a replica of Western Electric WE242C with a higher price tag of the ER211. I love to audition ER242C but yet to have the chance
Btw, the Jinro can preform much better with a good tube preamp. I was dosed by JCR33 Hing and replaced my long-using Airtight ATC-1 by Kondo KSL-M7 and the result is very satisfactory indeed.
