Rectifier For Cary SLP 05

Hi
I am currently using a Mullard GZ34 and have been for a while now. on a Cary SLP 05 preamp.

i am shopping for some back up replacements.
Will a Brimar 5R4GY be a drop in replacement and if so, what sort of sound does it have compared to the Mullard GZ34?
Thanks

They don't last forever! The British, US and Japanese versions are good for about 5,000 hours use. More if you are lucky! One of mine in a 1963 Heathkit AA100 integrated amp died after many years of use. I was the second owner.

The GZ37 cannot be subbed for a GZ34. Stick with the GZ34/5AR4!

The Mullard GZ37 is too tall for the Cary SLP-05.
