Questions about tubes and gear that glows. FAQ

Also true of the 5AR4's

The Japanese made 5AR4's are excellent copies of the Mullard, and perform well. They are often far less expensive. The Toshiba 7591's I've owned also performed nicely.

The one exception is the 6L6GC. The Japanese 6L6GC's I have seen are unfortunately not a reliable tube, based on a half dozen or so I've owned. They look quite similar to the RCA black plate in construction, but won't handle the voltages or current.
