5AS4A vs. 5U4


I have a Cary SLI-80 that uses Sovtek 5U4 rectifiers. I am wondering if anyone has had any experience replacing this tube with 5AS4A rectifiers, which I believe is an older iteration of the 5U4?
Thanks!

John,
Thanks for the fantastically comprehensive response! I'm looking forward to experimenting in the days and weeks ahead. Tell your friend at Cary that I'm in love with the amp.

I have a great pair of sylvania 5u4's that I simply don't use anymore. They will crush anything russian made. I'll trade you for a cd of your choice. I like expanding my horizons....
