Rectifier For Cary SLP 05


Hi
I am currently using a Mullard GZ34 and have been for a while now. on a Cary SLP 05 preamp.

i am shopping for some back up replacements.
Will a Brimar 5R4GY be a drop in replacement and if so, what sort of sound does it have compared to the Mullard GZ34?
Thanks

The 5R4GY is not a drop in replacement for the 5AR4/GZ34 as they have different electrical properties.  As to can you use a 5R4GR tube in your Cary, you will need to ask Cary.  The Mullard GZ34 is considered one of the best rectifier tubes you can buy and they last forever.
