I ordered the NOS JAN Philips/Sylvania 5AR4 (mislabeled 5V4GA) rec. from KCA NOS tubes. It should be in today or tomorrow. I've heard it works magic with the Maz Jr. Anyone else have experience/thoughts with this tube?

I'm about to order one as well (I'm dead in the water right now). All indications I've read on here are that it's the one to get.

Quick question...
Im pretty sure about this, but is there anything you need to do when you change you rectifier tube? Or just pull the old one, put in the new one and go?

I made the switch about 2 months ago. you won't notice a huge difference IMO. But you won't have to replace it for 20 years or so!!!

I got it in today. First thoughts -
On a clean sound - Not much different, maybe actually a little cleaner?
With the BB - here is where i notice the difference. The sound is alot smoother. This definitely sells me on the BB preamp, now.
I will keep testing it, but so far I am liking what im hearing ;D

It sounds like the makings of a run on these could be imminent.
