I still think the SED Svetlana 5u4gb is the best sounding in my system. From time to time I will use the EH 5u4gb over the weekend to get closer to the 200hr burn time so i get a good comparison to the Svetlana.
Sweet tube indeed.

Love mine to death.

vivatubescom I purchased two Psvane12au7 from them . They are located in USA.
Viva has been one of my main go-to vendors for quality tubes. I've never had a bad experience with them.

I would imagine all new tubes sound better after a certain period of break in.
-
I tried both the EH and JJ and stuck with the SED. The vendor sent me a nice 274b I haven't tried yet but as long as the tubes I have now sound great, I'm in no rush to roll.
Glad you found those SED's . Good value for sure.

I have received the 5u4GB tubes from nesstone. The Svetlana has 5 pins and the shuguang has 4 just as my psvanes do. Will the 5 pin cause any amp damage?
You're good. I actually went and checked my original Shuguang (4-pins) and every other one I had left (5-pins).
I like the SED tubes' 8 little coils on the top. Cool looking fire bottle for sure.

Where can I find the specs on these tubes?
This was the best I could come up with.

A datasheet may exist somewhere in the intarwebs...

Good deal. I got as kick out of the original boxes they came in. You could almost smell the Communism emanating from them...😎

These are my go-to rectifiers for the 5U4-G

I've got a few backups just in case.

Been using a quad of 7581a's in my PrimaLuna for about 2 weeks now. So far no glitches to mention. I bought mine from Viva in Mass.
-
Let them break in for a while and they'll sound even better.
-
I believe the expression is spelled voila.
I'm seriously considering The LPBin system myself. I've grown tired of all the different ways I store LP's.

I always thought that peak was my La Scala trying to add a bit of its own 'voice' to the music. 😁
-
You could always pick up a nice MS-23B for your phono needs...
-
Schu, you need more stuff. 😜👍

It's the nearfield acoustic reflections between your loudspeakers that cause the issues that leads to zero toe-in, including other loudspeakers that are just sitting there. Move all the stuff from between the loudspeakers, then try toe-in again...the results will be very different.
I'd also recommend more absorption on the floor just in front of the loudspeakers--out to 3-4 feet, perhaps a little on the side walls next to the loudspeakers, too. Try tacking up some fuzzy blankets temporarily, then listen to a high quality recording.

I very much appreciate your suggestions but this isn't my first rodeo. The La Scala's sound best with no toe in my listening space.

No toe-in for me. My listening space is much too small to support it.
-
The Elac stuff looks compelling but I've done run out of places to put more speakers!

Steve's been softening his stance on horns lately.

I've got something similar and it sounds amazing with either the La Scala or the Heresy. i would imagine it would make the Chorus sound fine also.

I've got a single cv181 if that will help you..
Thanks for the offer Schu. I'm eyeing a matched pair right now but I've got the holiday money crunch going on and spending $195 on a set of driver tubes when I have yet to finish my Christmas shopping will surely bring me bad karma!
My b-day in in January so I'll probably buy them then. Got to be able to rationalize buying more tubes ya know....👍😁

Running the same top box stuff. Crites 120 tweeters, K-55 G squawker and the A/4500 networks. The La Scalas are now buttery instead of barky.

I'm coveting the Treasure CV-181's for my little KT88 single-ender. Still can't quite pull the plug on them yet as the PSVane 6SN7's in there now just sound too sweet to roll out..
