Looking for a pair of 5AR4 rectifier tubes.

Can you sub 5vr4's? I have a handful of g bottles...

No.

"The 5V4 is certainly not a substitute for the 5AR4 though it will function in some circuits without failure. First, the voltage drop is significantly greater with the 5V4, so your circuit will have to be stable at lower voltage, second it is more fragile than the 5AR4."

I hoping the 5AR4s will give me a bit more power over the 5U4Gs that I'm currently using in a Decware TORII MK III.
