Title: Re: Aqua II Compatibility Issues Post by Hearafter on 03/13/25 at 06:17:41 I bought one lightly used (like new) when I fired it up the first time in my Torii Jr it flashed and was dead. Done with them…Lon recommended the Psvane 274b-z treasure black glass and they sound excellent with no issues and only cost $60-70 on ebay or Aliexpress. They are my go to in my Supratek Cab preamp now. Godd luck with it all. |
Title: Re: Aqua II Compatibility Issues Post by Lon on 03/13/25 at 09:38:57 Gosh Kam, sorry to hear that and read the info Sophia Electric posted. I had one fail on me when I introduced the SDFB to the amplifier, I was blaming the SDFB at first, not sure why that happened actually. I replaced it with an Amperex 5R4WGB that I have on hand, a great rectifier and then with the Psvane 274B-Z mentioned by Hereafter--a great rectifier. I'm also using a Linlai 274B-D Dream rectifier, which is closer in sound perthaps to the Aqua II--bigger image, bolder sound. Very nice! No arcing on these. I actually have about two dozen NOS rectifiers and each sounds a bit different in the amplifier--there are many possible sound configurations with some exploration. I'll be putting some up for sale soon. I have narrowed down the "field" of tubes that I love in the amp. |
