5AR4/GZ34 Rectifier Tubes

i am partial to the older brimar tubes. i prefer brimar to mullard. i'm not sure there is a brimar 5ar4. if there is, and it wasn't to expensive, i would buy it.

i have two brimar tubes--12au7 and 12at7, in my collection.

Mr. Tennis: I believe Brimar is an acronym for 'British Made American Range" tubes, and they do make an equivalent rectifier. I also saw a pair of 12AT7 for less than a comparable pair of Telefunken small tubes. Just have a web search. Have fun.

I've ordered a Create/Synergy 5AR4 and will compare it with my Mullard and the stock tube and let you guys know what I discover.

Good to see that the Create 5AR4's are being discovered. I really like mine but their 6SN7 are not on the same level.

BTW, I decided to purchase the Create/Synergy 5AR4 after corresponding with Srajan Ebean from 6 Moons who has used them in the Modwright LS100 and found them to sound less romantic and more neutral, detailed and dynamic than the Mullards. Since my system leans slightly to the warm side I figured I'd give it a try. I'll see whether his experience bears out in my system.
