5C3S from Decware
04/19/21 at 22:59:42
 
I read in the forum not long ago that Steve is selling the SE84UFO stock with the 5C3S rectifier. I don’t see them listed in the tubes he offers for sale. Are these available upon request, and if so, how much are they?

This tube is also called 5U3C. Anybody?

5C3S = 5U3C = 5U4, which Steve is still listing under his tube offerings. IIRC there was a thread recently where Steve said he couldn't get 5U4s he liked so he switched to the 5C3S. My experience is that they're all roughly equivalent, just different flavors. I love the fact that so many of the 5XXX rectifiers can be used in the same amps.

Where are you seeing it in what he offers? I just looked at his list again and don’t see it.

Never mind. I see what you’re saying. Even though it shows 5u4, it will be a 5U3C. Thank you.
