Philips Mini Watt GZ34


For those of you that may have a Cary SLP 05 Pre. I just replaced the standard 5AR4 rectifier tube with a Philips Miniwatt GZ34 and WOW what a difference. Added quietness and a clarity.

I was tube rolling. Found a phillips miniwatt GZ34 in my stash. Put it in my Allnic phono stage. I could not believe the difference it made. Everything was bigger, deeper and wider. Very natural sounding with no harshness.
Hi Markus,

Is your GZ34 metal base or black plastic base? I want to get one for my SLP-05 too, wonder if plastic base is inferior or same.
Grandetech,

The GZ34 I bought was metal based and, as I understand, these are hard to find. Don't have any experience with the plastic based ones so could not advise on that issue.

Happy hunting
Markus
