5U4 (not 5AR4) rectifiers do affect the sound, at least, in a Cary SL-80 amplifier.

Does the voltage change?

  I did not check it with a multimeter - I was judging by ear.
  - I was just looking for the "why" does it change the sound. - Tre' 16:36:11 10/05/24 (3)

      IMO - the same reason as with other tubes.
      - impedance follows frequency so either run to {or from} there... - Cleantimestream 04:11:39 11/03/24 (0)

        When alternating current is being used {and I look at music as AC}, the ratio I/V is not necessarily constant. Voltage and current can peak at different times if the circuit contains components like coils or capacitors {also effecting frequency}
        These elements also are used by tubes and the ancillary components necessary to operate them. Tough question to answer coherently because THEN one must add how each of us hear differently.

      - and what would that be? nt - Tre' 06:32:53 10/08/24 (0)

  - The 5AR4 with the least voltage drop probably wins (nt) - 1973shovel 08:38:10 10/05/24 (0)
