Now I Need Rectifier Help!

Posted by thetubeguy1954 (A) on December 27, 2016 at 20:03:15

On 12/26 I purchased a Musical Paradise MP-D2 DAC ---{you can check it out at the link below}--- This DAC comes stock with a Shuguang 6Z5P rectifier tube, that you can use in the 6.3V position along with the 6X5. Or else I can select the 5V position and use either a 5R4, 5AR4, 5U4G, 5Y3 or a GZ34 tube.

Also I was told if I can use a 5U4G tube I can use a 274B tube as well! Is that true? If It is I wonder why it wasn't listed. So would someone with more knowledge about rectifier tubes than I have please tell me which of all these rectifier tubes listed, you'd use and why you'd choose that specific tube? Also if you know of another tube you prefer, that can replace any of these tubes, please let me know about that tube as well! TIA
