Hi,
I have some questions RCA 5U4G (big bottle) and the Svetlana 5C3S black plates.
-- Is there a difference between the RCA 5U4G smooth black plates bottom getter vs top getter?
-- Is there a difference between the Svetlana 5C3S black plates vs gray plates (if both are from the sixties)?
-- Are these RCAs better than the Svetlana, or are they comparable/similar?
Thanks!

Thanks so much Michael!

Performance and sonic wise,NO!

I have both types and they sounded similar..Probably the black plate will last longer.

I love Russian military tubes as much as the next guy but truthfully,these are not the same as the US made 5U4s nor do they hold up as well IMHO..The plate structure is smaller as well..I never believed these were a 5U4 equivalent.I know they are used as 5U4s however,I have seen them flash at turn-on many times.
Thanks!
Honest amplification is better than excessive 2nd order distortion anytime.
