5AR4/GZ34 Rectifier Tubes

I still have not gotten a solid response. I'm just looking for some help so I don't buy the wrong ones from the wrong place. Much appreciated!!

Wig, I have not heard of the Ken Rad VT231. Where is the best place to get a pair to try out and even buy? What do I look for? On e-bay? BIG Thanks!

Bigkidz, same question, as for the NOS Tung-Sol 6SN7 Where is the best place to get a pair to try out and even buy? What do I look for? On e-bay?

BIG Thanks!

If anyone let's you, "try out" any NOS tubes; you MUST have a VERY GOOD friend(in heaven)! Especially tubes as rare and expensive, as the Tung-Sol roundplates. The bottom gettered Ken-Rad VT231, is not nearly as expensive/sought after, but: still hard to find(a very natural sounding tube): (http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_trksid=p2055119.m570.l1311.R7.TR7.TRC1.A0.Xken-rad+&_nkw=ken+rad+vt231&_sacat=0&_from=R40)

Joeyboynj,

Like Rodman99999 said, the Tung-Sol are very expensive but you can find them along with Ked-Rads VT 231 and the Sylvania VT 231 are my favorite and be found at Bent Jessee Recording...

I have two Sylvania 6SN7GT Badboys from '52 and a 1940s Tung Sol 5U4G, both from eBay. Terrific combination. Kind of expensive, nevertheless...

I just got a matched pair of Ken Rad 1942 6SN7GTs on eBay for back up and am planning to send off to cryo lab ASAP. I figure, what the heck, why not?
