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?

Has anyone tried the new production Genalex GZ34 rectifier? New Sensor is now making 5AR4 rectifiers under labels of Tung-Sol, Mullard and Genalex. They have very similar internal structure. Supposedly, the Genalex version is subject to far more stringent quality control, and it's supposed to be very good.
Bayreuth, Thanks for pointing these out. I have heard nothing about them, but I just bought one to give it a try. Got one for under 40 shipped, which is less than half the current price of the create synergy tubes.

I really love the synergy tube, but its an inexpensive experiment. I'd love a tube with the dynamics and low noise of the synergy with the classic tube sound of the old mallards. That is asking a lot, but ---- one can always hope.

By the way, love your user name!
Thanks Brownsfan. Please let me know how you like the new rectifier tube. I'm interested in trying the Genalex GZ34 also.
Wig and Bayreuth, the tube came today. I will give it a good listen Saturday night.
