Rectifier for your Lampizator
So far I have tried the 5U4C,Sylvania 5X4G, Svetlana 5C3S and EML 5U4G.
All vary and have currently got the EML running, like the warmth in these tubes.
What are you currently using as your rectifier tube.

Rectifier for your Lampizator
I have the EML 274b coming. My fav is probably WE274b or WE422a. I remember that EML 5U4G. Excellent rectifier. Should get more respect.

Re: Rectifier for your Lampizator
The EML tubes are very fine rectifiers, I read about EML 274b and 5U4G, both have a similar signatures probably.

Re: Rectifier for your Lampizator
My Lampi is a level 5 and uses a 6X5. I have been playing with the Bendix 5852, Sylvania Brown Base 6X5gt and a Zenith 6X5G (small coke bottle shape). The Bendix is very focused, The "G" is very dimensional and the "gt" is in between. At this point, in my system, I am leaning towards the "G". However I have an RCA "G" on it's way. RCA's are generally known for their bold and warm presentation, with good bass. We shall see how it compares.

Re: Rectifier for your Lampizator
Agreed here with Mike. The WE 274B reigns but is cost prohibitive to many. The Takatsuki 274B is also excellent, as is the 422A.

Re: Rectifier for your Lampizator
To me, although it has been quite some time since I have used/heard them, the difference in the characteristics of the 6X5 rectifier tubes is much more subtle and discreet than the larger tubes referenced in previous posts. I do recall really enjoying some Tung Sol and Sylvania 6X5s. RCA's were nice too, but again, to me...very subtle difference between them unlike with the 5U4G, 274B etc...

Re: Rectifier for your Lampizator
One of the biggest differences that I have noted is when a larger bottle tube is substituted for a smaller/regular bottle tube. Such as replacing the 6X5gt with a 6X5g (coke bottle). The ambiance field, depth etc is greatly enhanced with the bigger bottles. I first noticed this with my Audio Mirror amps upon changing the 6SN7's to 6F8g's. I have a personal theory that it is due to electrons reverberating in a larger space, creating a quasi echo/delay. This can be easily debated and what the heck, I have been full of it before. But it's my theory and I'm sticking to it. If you have a piece of gear that you can substitute a larger bottle tube for a smaller one, I urge you to try it.

Re: Rectifier for your Lampizator
Many hours does one get out of a rectifier on a Big 7 or GG?

Re: Rectifier for your Lampizator
About 2 years of normal use for a regular recti and about 20 years for the Kron KR5u4g with its MUCH higher vacuum seal.

Anybody know the price difference between Woo Audio and Amtrans for the Takatsuki 274b? They seem to be the only two that carry it from what I see.

Re: Rectifier for your Lampizator
Thanks. I was seeing two different prices when I searched woo audio for the tak 274b. One was $965 plus shipping and one was $1045 with free shipping. The Amtrans site says 86500 yen which according to the transfer is around $840 but don't know if there are other fees or what shipping would be straight from Japan.

Re: Rectifier for your Lampizator
Hi Guys
I have a pair of BNIB KR 5U4G Hi-Vacuum Lampizator 6th Anniversary Special Edition tubes or sale. Asking $600 plus shipping.
The Hi-Vac process is said to result in a tube life 4 times longer than conventional recti's.
Thanks for looking.

If so, what was your opinion on it?

Re: Rectifier for your Lampizator
Caelin,
Feedback from a pal in fürstentum Liechtenstein :
"In the beginning I wasn't too fond of the EML 274b mesh but with some
serious hours of burn-in, it got a lot better and grew on me. I still prefer
the KR 5u4g by a margin but I prefer the EML over all the others I have.
So EML is my no 2 recti from the ones I heard."
Feedback from a NYC pal who owns a dozen rectis for his 2 Lampis, including the WE 274b, Tak 274b, Phillips metal base GZ34, Lampi Anniv Kron 5u4g, Shuguang 274b, Mazda "foreign made" double mica 5R4gy, 1944 RCA like Mike has, etc.
He also has ALL the fashionable DHTs for the Dacs except Elrog 300bs that died after a year. EML Mesh 45 globe, SP 45 Globe, GENUNIE WE 300b and WE 101d, PSVANE replicas too, Tak 300b, Kron PX4 and 25 and 242, Sylvania 6A3, 1920 Vintage Cunningham 345 and his new favourite EML Mesh 2a3.
Before the 2A3, he was clear that his recti order for top 3 was WE/Tak 274B tied for equal first, a decent drop to Kron 5u4g for 3rd and a big drop to the rest. After 2A3 burn in, the top 2 get equalled by cheap Chinese 274B and almost equal by the double Mica Mazda 5R4gy. Go figure!
For me, I dont have much of expensive new production rectis, but have 13 vintage and cheap ones. Shuguang 274b, Metal base Philips GZ34, Madza as above, Mullard GZ34 and GZ37 (skinny), 5Y3, 5z4, type 80, 1944 RCA 5r4gy, CEI double Mica 5r4gy, potato masher 5r4GWA and a few others.
My favourite is the Mazda and after that, the CEI and RCA 1944. The Shuguang is quite good too. A pal lent me his Kron 5u4g and it was superb. One of these days I will get one of those...but no rush as the Mazda is excellent.NORMAN

I agree the NOS WEs et al are the best and the Lampi/Kron 5U4G are the best of the recent production....

Re: Rectifier for your Lampizator
This is more of a curiosity question - Is there a point where tubes lose their luster / performance and should be replaced? Being these aren't used in the same fashion as a tube power amp these should last many years.
I have a Lite7 and leave it on almost 24/7. The 300b's I use are maybe 1.5yrs old but other than tube rolling, will there some indication its time?Main:

Re: Rectifier for your Lampizator
Hi Swisstrips
You are right, the output tubes are only used very gently. They can last decades like that
And now for my curiosity:
What 300B tubes do you use?
Have you also tried some other tubes like KR 242 or KR PX25? Or the unobtainium EML 45 mesh anniversary globes?
@Al
The (initial) Lite7 doesn't have tube rectification. So nothing to worry here.
@Swisstrips
My experience so far with Lampi DACs is that they sound quite a lot better with tube rectification. If your Lite7 should have to go home to Poland, maybe you could ask Lukasz to incorporate tube rectification in your Lite7. That would be a worthwhile sonic upgrade

Re: Rectifier for your Lampizator
I have not tried much in the way of rolling, but had the globes and another set I don't recall at the moment, but currently using psvane 300b's. It sounds great as is but am all for rolling something else to try. Although $ is a consideration, especially after the recent purchases.
Tube recti is consideration, however I have been considering updating the clocks and getting the 512 engine (not r2r), but again $ is a factor and was curious as to some tubes to try that are reasonable $Main:

Re: Rectifier for your Lampizator
A friend recently turned me on to the Takasuki 274B which I've been using for a few weeks in a Golden Atlantic and it has been really wonderful there. Not a cheap rectifier, but it's the best I've heard in the GA. I will be trying it in the Pacific in the near future.

Re: Rectifier for your Lampizator
Good morning LARRY I replied to you.
I have the box and papers also mine have Lampi on the base.
I own the mesh and solid too.
If you don’t have the cheap Chinese recti buy one or two 18 each.

I upgraded the power supply on my Gigafoil v4 to a Weiss PSU 102. It’s very nice step up. But with the new model, you’re looking at $2000 before even investing in a SOTA linear power supply.
