5U4G/ U52 tubes




As part of my stramlining exercise mentioned earlier, the number of amplifiers that I own have been reduced to a very manageable level.
By reducing the number of amplifiers, it has enable me to focus time and resources in getting good tubes for the amplifiers.
Its a good thing that both my Western Electric 124 amplifiers and WE KS16608 are using similar and interchaneable tubes namely: 6L6G & 5U4Gs.
For the 5U4Gs tubes, I have the Tungsol, RCA, Brima & Syvania 5U4Gs. Recently, I have bought the much famed GEC U52 tubes for my amplifiers, which is more affordable when comparing with the Western Electric 274B..

Which would you prefer Brima or the GEC?
