I voted for GS Type 1 as it is easily my favourite, but out of the e-bells currently on the market I would say....

1) WCH (any type)
2) GS Type 3
3)Safetran Type 3

I have not heard the US&S or the ASC so I can't really comment on them, but I still prefer mechanical bells.

#1. We already have a thread on this (unless this is an updated one to include more options that have come out since the last one, in which case you might want to add "2.0" at the end of the title):

#2. My favorite is the GS Type 1. They just sound so nice! :WOOT:

GS Type-1 would be a second close behind the Safetran Type-1 for me! :TUP1:

General Signals 'regular' Type 1 all the way! I can't those nasty sounding 'adjusted' Type 1's Metro have used to replace so many Hybrid, Teadrop, and Safetran m-bells. :Mad: :Curse1: :TDOWN:

I still prefer m-bells, but the regular Type 1's are not too bad.

I voted for WCH 1.5 because i like the long ring it has in the start and is not scratchy like the type 1. I have always liked WCH E-bells!

Safetran type 1 all the way. Also, add a WCH Type 4 to the poll

Why does everyone copy my signature?

OG signal collection signature, I think. :LOL2:

Unfortunately, doing that would literally reset everyone's votes.
