Modwright PH 9.0X Tube Rolling Question


I recently acquired a used PH 9.0X phono preamp and
I want to upgrade the Russian 6922 tubes. Anyone have
any experience with this particular preamp? I'll be looking
for NOS tubes.

I’m using the Sophia Aqua II 274B rectifier. Sounds pretty good. Wondering if I should try the Philips 5R4GYS?

Travis, I can only tell you that if you look up what tube rectifiers are cross-compatible with the 274B, the only tube that comes up is 5U4G.  I leave it to you to do further research. One other found fact: the 274B does not like to be followed by a filter capacitor of greater than 10uF value.  Many rectifier tubes come with a specification for the max value of the first capacitor following the rectifier.

YES !

Kristen at Modwright listed the following rectifiers:

GZ34, 5R4GYS, 5R4GY, 274B, 5U4, 5U4GB, 5V4, 5V4G, 5V4GB 

Dan has two that are his top picks, an NOS GZ34 or 5R4GY 

The NOS GZ34`s are pretty steep $$$
