In Reply to: RE: 5Y3GT or 5Y3G or 5V4G or 5V4GA..... posted by Interstage Tranny on September 06, 2015 at 16:38:25
Thanks for a fine, informative post, IT. Awesome work. Cheers!
For me, it is all about sonics first, then reliability, if I have to rate them (but both are very critical, of course.)
I guess I would rather have a great sounding tube that lasts 10,000 hours than a lesser sounding tube that lasts 20,000 hours.
So, you like the 5R4s, eh?
You nailed the issue when you hit the "sweet midrange" button with the 5Y3GTs, but I ask, are the 5R4s as sweet in the mids as the 5Y3GTs, or do they have a wee bit harder, faster, more dynamic mids, at the expense of a touch of aggression on recordings that may likewise be engineered with a very slight 'tilt' in that regard, to make it appear to have more midrange 'sparkle' and 'detail'? Or is the 5R4 a better tube across the board? Comparison sonically?
Another big, "Thanks" for a fine post, and a "TIA" for any further help or guidance you can provide on the 5Y3GT vs. the 5R4!
Killer stuff, IT. :-)
Cheers,
WS

Thank You for your appreciation ! I always seem to enjoy the 5R4G as well as or better than any 5Y3 type. Since they are large ST size and still "under the collectability radar" you can get them for less than $20....Enjoy !
