Hi,
I have a pre-amp that uses a 6Z4 Chinese 7 pin rectifier valve.
I've tried doing some research on these to see if replacements/upgrades are available but I've only found some limited info.
It seems that proper 6Z4 valve don't have 7 pins and are larger than what I need.
Does anyone know much about the Chinese version and if there are any decent replacements available from anywhere. I just want to try and track down something that's better quality than the cheapo one that came pre-installed.
BTW, I'm new to valve equipment, so go easy on the tech terms. :)
Thanks.
