Philips Mini Watt GZ34

For those of you that may have a Cary SLP 05 Pre. I just replaced the standard 5AR4 rectifier tube with a Philips Miniwatt GZ34 and WOW what a difference. Added quietness and a clarity.

Now...I'm sceptical about some of this stuff, but WOW made a big difference in quietness, clarity and warmth. $265 and as I listen...it was worth it.

Found a phillips miniwatt GZ34 in my stash. Put it in my Allnic phono stage. I could not believe the difference it made. Everything was bigger, deeper and wider. Very natural sounding with no harshness.
