5AR4/GZ34 Rectifier Tubes


Is anyone currently making a tube of this type that rivals the performance of the best NOS Mullard tubes? I'm surprised that Sophia, Psvane and others appear not to have offered this tube. Suggestions?

How would the sound of the Synergy compare with the Mullard Blackburn I am currently using in my Modwright LS100?
You should try a GE 5AR4 - I used one in a Melody SHW 1688II preamp - best rectifier tube I have ever heard. Still in my tube stock.
Using a NOS philips 5ara in my LS100 mates well with my black treasure cv181s
I also swapped my vintage Mullard (RCA) for the Create Audio tube in my Modwright player. Right out of the box to my ears it sounded as good as the Mullard and with some run in it will only get better. The 5AR4 tubes last a long time so once you find one you like you are set. With the Create tube you don't have to worry about dealing with all the vintage tube stuff as Brownsfan indicated and it won't cost an arm and a leg.
