Hello, I have rolled all the tubes with the exception of the tung sol 5AR4 rectifier tube. Is the tung sol a good tube, or should I be looking for other options? Any thoughts/suggestions would be appreciated...
Thx in advance

The Tung-Sol 5AR4 is good. The Gold Lion and the Mullard versions are also good .. The JJ and the Sovtek versions just don't seem to last as long.

Good Everything, Bob..... You have mentioned (in your own opinion) which 5AR4 tubes are good (Tung-Sol, Gold Lion, Mullard).
Which brand 5AR4 tube is your favorite ?
