I do use other rectifiers, with my favorite being a new production Genalex GZ34, which I think is nothing more than a slightly upgraded, or selected pick, Sovtek. It does the job. Paid $35. My only complaint about it is that it is too small ... I like those big, impressive looking rectifiers!  |
Yes, my bad, that's the one I have, the Preferred Series. A great tube. And cheap.
Again, I'm pretty sensitive to "bang for buck" but found myself with a few extra dollars and wanted to try a new production 6sn7, so decided to shell out more than I would've liked for the Sophia 6sn7. Jury is still out. Sounds very good but I'm just not sure it's that much better than a number of others that I have...
