It’ll depend a little on how close the amp is having to run to its limit given the speakers it’s working with, the size of room and your preferred listening level as 10% less HT voltage could be an issue.
I have some Russian made 5Z4 that I think are pretty good along with Russian 6SN7s if you’re still using the Chinese ones it likely came with.
Thanks guy, its being run with the tune primes4×5m room
I’ve got a pair of brimar 6k8g, a tad rectifier and a pair of syvalnia ’ bad boys "
Sounds pretty good for what it is , just wondered if a really decent rectifier would squeeze the last bit of performance out of it
Did this amp come with the 6K8Gs in it John ? If not, where did the idea of using them come from ?

It came with them graeme
Interesting. I wouldn’t have imagined they’d work well in a 6L6 amp, but you live and learn …

Idiot lettering …6F8G
With I being the idiot
I have no idea where the k came from but that is my life at the mo
Ah … 6F8G. Still not really a 6L6 (a lot more like a 6SN7, in fact, only with a top cap) but at least the anodes can withstand some power dissipation.
