I love the mullard big base on my Allnic phono stage. Surprised me what a difference it made verses stock. Great sound and reliability.
5ar4 rectifier tube
I’m buying some backup 5ar4’s for my primaluna evo 100 preamp. Upscale audio’s website says the Gold Lion isn’t suitable for this preamp. I like Gold Lion but there’s no explanation why. There’s only one other choice on their site. I also like Upscale audio. Advise is appreciated..

Here's another tube vendor that I have not checked out yet (recently discovered them). http://www.vacuumtubes.com/5ar4.html

@dekay , I like that he specifies that some of the tubes he sells are used. . . . |
I've had no problems with Gold Lion 5AR4s, but I would use what the manufacturer recommends. A friend of mine continually rolls tubes and has managed to trash a number of expensive amps. The manufacturer of one amp specifically advised against using a certain brand of 300B. He did anyway and blew the amp--twice!! |
