Although not based on an exhaustive list I would say the ST bottle shifted square plate ladder type. The one I have in the 4.1SE at the moment is a Z&I branded 6X5G. I have also tried a straight bottle Mullard EZ35 ladder type and a Mullard 6X5GT CV574 brown base I picked up here from @dwbasement. I have attached a photo from the listing as I have never come across another one. Edited February 20, 2023 by cccrchairman 2
cccrchairman Posted February 20, 2023 Posted February 20, 2023 Just to clarify my previous post the ladder type I am referring to is the GEC shifted square pattern. I will edit post to pick this up. The Mullard EZ35 has the shifted plate construction in a straight glass bottle. Taller glass than a GT and different shape. 1

There are about 4 different ladder type construction of the ST 6x5 (L shape plates, horizontal rectangular, parallel vertical rectangular) and the connecting rods in various positions. They all sound a little different. 1
cccrchairman Posted February 20, 2023 Posted February 20, 2023 Good excuse to get these out for a photo op. This is the shifted square plate version I am referring to. Pic of the EZ35 as well. 3

Jehuty Posted March 2, 2023 Posted March 2, 2023 @xlr8or Need more EL34 double D getter if you don't mind tipping me off. I need to make sure which one I like better in my Leak Stereo 50, the EL34 double D getter or GEC KT66 grey glass. Cheers 2
paulk Posted March 2, 2023 Posted March 2, 2023 (edited) @xlr8orHi Kirk, I was hoping you may be able to find me a pair of 12au7's or similar for use in either PrimaLuna or PS Audio gear. Silver Audiophile has got me into some wonderful valves but I figure he may be sick of me annoying him all the time. Any help would be mostly appreciated.
