Philips Mini Watt GZ34

For those of you that may have a Cary SLP 05 Pre. I just replaced the standard 5AR4 rectifier tube with a Philips Miniwatt GZ34 and WOW what a difference. Added quietness and a clarity.

Besides sounding great in the Cary 05 I'm sure they would sound nice in other equiptment that takes the 5ar4.. I would like to try one in my Cary PH-302.

Now...I'm sceptical about some of this stuff, but WOW made a big difference in quietness, clarity and warmth. $265 and as I listen...it was worth it.
