How does the RCA 5Y3GT fare with other rectifier brands like the Bendix 6106, Mullard or Brimar?

I have not tried them all...maybe someone here has..and can add some insight.

I have compared the RCA 5V4GA and the RCA 5Y3GT, the GT does have a wider sound stage.

Good luck..

The soundstaging means a lot in audio sound.
