Is there an alternative that will work well for the Z-Plus! -steamroller- I have an NOS Rectifier in my Z-Plus. Couldn't tell you the make at this moment, but I will look later if you would like a reference. The NOS Rectifier that I have is a GE.

purpletele,
Thank you, that may be my best long term solution. My only concern is my lack of knowledge of NOS tubes. I have seen various lists for these tubes, I don't know the good from the excellent. Prices seem to be out of my range (aprox.$100-$200).
I'm going to start looking around again to get a feel for the prices, and learn something about the venders. I have read that honest venders are critical in the case of NOS.
Thanks Again -steamroller-

Ruby Tubes 5AR4 sold at Doug's Tubes are Shuguang. They have some in stock. I bought one a few weeks ago and just checked their website.

It's maybe a little "harder" sounding, but you would be hard pressed to hear a difference if you didn't listen back to back.

Is Shuguang now Psvane? Found this on google "Psvane is a new tube line from Shuguang of China"

Some of the designers and engineers from Shug started Psvane. Supposed to be decent quality.
