Hi Ecclectique, thank you so much for your comprehensive reply.
My used Syrah came with a pair of matched metal based 7029's ("made in U.S.A.", the reputed dealer here in Germany wipes out the branding and re-brands them with his own name), but Mick wrote me they could be inadequate for the Syrah, because they are not exactly equivalent with the 5881/6L6. That is why I am considering 6F6's.
Otoh a pair of Heathkit W-5M's I used to drive my original Quads with, prior to getting the Radford STA-25, sounds best with 7027's!
Ecclectique, speaking about rectifiers, could you please let me know something else? With the Syrah when I play my LPs using my ZYX Fuji (not with FM or CD; sounds great) there are funny noises coming out of one channel after ten to twenty minutes, sometimes earlier. The noises sound like tearing paper or like the noise between channels in a radio or sometimes like a muffled heartbeat!
My Syrah came with a brown based Mullard GZ-37 rectifier, which Mick says should be OK for the Syrah if in very good shape. I have changed the 5842 and 6GK5 phono tubes and the 7029's but the problem persists.
Once you wrote that phono play could be affected if the rectifier is not 100%, except if it is a GZ-34 which could be less with no problems. Do you think that getting a GZ-34 would solve this problem (apart from sounding better)?
Thank you so much. Best,
frankiealverti
