The metal based ones come out of old Sherwood mono integrated amps..I got two of those you see in my picture.

moved over to a vintage Mullard, then a fat based vintage Mullard, then the apex, a metal based Mullard.
Remember it being a major improvement in the first two steps and a slightly less (but still quite noticeable) audio improvement from the FB to the Metal. Took this journey from reading reports here at AA about similar journeys. Always felt that with these vintage tubes IF I didn't hear
any improvement I could sell the tube for what I paid for it, maybe 10% less. That's one of the pluses buying used anything.
Anyway, was never a tech guy, so reading your report add credence to my subjective experences.
That Will Vincent ST70 (my first tube amp) LOVED the metal based Mullard GZ34!!!!!!!
I paid VERY close attention to all the tube changes done over the years to garner as much
listening experience as possible in getting to where I wanted to be.
The rectifier tube was easily as important as ANY of the power or driver tubes.
BTW Mike, my name isn't Marty.

But it isn't Mike either!
Hope the situation with those cursed stones is improving.
