I'm using 5V4GA in my Inspire KT88 SE, with 20 watt output transformers. They are less demanding than a 5AR4 / GZ34, so you should have no problems at all.

I am really liking the re-issue Genalex Gold Lion KT66 in my Inspire SE KT88 HO amp. When paired with my Sylvania 6SN7 and vintage 5V4GA, it produces a really well defined sound with excellent vocals/midrange, tight bass, and big soundstage. Several reputable tube dealers (Jim McShane, Kevin Deal, more) rave about them.
Trying to decide which I like better the GL KT66 vs GL KT88, in the same setup. Will take some time and more breaking in of my tubes. The Tung-Sol KT66 is more like a 6L6GC. It draws the same current as a 6L6GC. A true KT66 draws about 40% more current. |

Thanks for that. This rectifier seems to have become popular relatively recently in this forum. so I need to try it.

I realize the Capacitor debate has been dead for a while but I just went a little cap crazy after reinstalling 1.5uf Audyn True Copper Max in my LP-2. They seem to be settling in and have added a lot of body and depth to the sound. To me they seem a little rolled off up top still, kinda miss the sparkle of the poly caps I removed.
I just ordered .22uf Jupiter copper foil caps for my 6V6 amp to replace the Auricap XO currently in place. I also ordered .022uf and .1uf Rel Audiocap exotica TFT caps for bypassing in both the pre and power. I will update as things unfold here. I was looking at V-caps CUTFT but the Teflon Rel caps were 1/3 the price. I figured this could be a possible worthwhile "affordable" upgrade to my system. |

Not Tonian, but I had the PHY-HP SAG drivers in Auris cabinets. Excellent drivers but they need the 'right electronics' they are extremely revealing.

Anyone ever try a new re-issue "Tung Sol" 6SN7 and give it time to break in? I see that one can order them tested for low-noise and having matched sections. Possibly the same tube as the Electro Harmonix.
