Members ksl Posted July 29, 2023 Members Share Posted July 29, 2023 Greetings... About the tube options they offer for the preamp & recto; I very well understand the 6AT6 vs. 6AV6 gain concept, but I'm not so certain of the 5Y3 > 5V4 rectifier swap.... Can anyone kindly break it down for me, & hopefully in the context of this particlar amp....? Many thanks ॐ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many thanks ॐ I don't have the specs in front of me, but the difference will be in power handling, and in certain cases the depth and quality of 'sag'. The 5V4 B+ is higher, which makes the amp louder and offers more headroom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
