But to keep it on point, I'll make it brief
I've finally experienced the "farting out" sound on my 5E3 after putting a 5Y3Gt rectifier tube in. The extra sag and earlier breakup is great but it definitely does it on bassier chords when turned up. It's my TubeDepot build with the stock Jensen Mod speaker that comes with it. It sounds great and I've read as many 5E3 speaker posts as humanly possible I think, but basically would a tighter speaker help with this or is it simply easier/better to go back to the 5AR4/GZ34 JJ rectifier? Less sag/breakup but no farting. Local music shop is blowing out their WGS line so I can get a Blackhawk or ET65 easily. And yes, I "could" order a 12a125a etc, etc, etc, etc but it's christmas, I'm lazy, and these are close so they would be my choice otherwise for now I'm happy to just leave it alone. But who doesn't love another speaker thread?
Cheers, and Merry Christmas!
