Anyone have luck with the NOS GE rectifier tube. I just bought one from Mike at KCA and havent had time to try it yet. The amp came with a JJ.
Do rectifier tubes make any diff in your sound?

When I asked a while back, while shopping a different recto I was told not that much difference will be made as its not in the tone stack. I was told, however, that the NOS I bought will most likely last much longer than the one that came in my amp.

Funny thing. I have a swart ast that ships with a GZ34 but M Swart recommends a nos 5Y3. I went on his and others recommendations and bought 3. A bendix, rca and sylvania. For a strat the 5Y3 is killer in that amp, the bendix is my fave. The other 2 are great too, but the sylvania is a tad brighter, the rca is trhe ballsiest and loudest! The bendix is just so rich and warm, i like it heaps. Yeah considering their job description, the poor old rec doesnt get much appreciation for its contribution. In my maz i have a nos mullard, the coveted 200 dollar one, and it wasnt as noticeable at first, but what i did notice was how much kinder on my ears it was after a while. less fatigue i feel. Like Curt said tho, let YOUR ears be the judge, thats the fun bit And 6V6's set me free too
