Recommendations for 5V4 rectifier for Cary 2A3i


Well the title says it all. I'm looking to try out a different pair of rectifiers for my Cary 2A3i integrated that I am using to drive some AKG K1000 headphones. No real complaints, just want to know if there is anything I should give a whirl besides the RCAs that I have (short bottle type) in there now. Unknown hours so I want to pick up a spare pair. Any thoughts on the 6SN7s appreciated as well, although I do have several types here to try.

Michael, several tube amplifier manufacturers I have spoken to have told me that they don't hear any sonic benefits to rolling the rectifier tubes. And, these are avowed tube rollers. However, on the other side of the street, I have read several guitar amplifier people say rectifiers do make a big difference in their amps.

Who is right? I'm not sure, but rectifiers are so cheap, that it's worth a try.
