Other Rectifier tubes Alternative for 5AR4
I'm not sure what other rectifier tubes are a safe replacement for 5ARA but when I played around with different vintages of 5ARA I found the metal base tubes (mid 1950's) made the largest positive change to my SQ than any other charge I had previo...

George I was wondering what you think about the build quality design quality of the Rogue RP-7?

I have not heard either but have a local (1hr) dealer who carries both but I think at this point availability might be a challenge.  I plan to demo but wanted to hear others experience as well.  Thanks for reference to TAS.

I would start by calling Cary Audio.  I think you will find they know their products very well and will be more than happy to work with you.  You might also try reaching out to Dennis Had directly.  He is no longer associated with Cary Audio but s...
