Socket saver from Ebay. Let me know if you want the link and I'll dig it out.
 
Tube base is standard octal.

Yes thanks mate, do you mean that these will not plug straight in without an adapter? Are the pin outs correct as for a 5U4G?

I'm also using in the WA22. It has lifted its game another level. I wonder if it blew in the GlennAmp because of a different electrical draw? I have noticed it has a very bright light / glow and wonder if it is using more juice?
 

 
The Glenn OTL wants 220ma. The 5Z4GY can only provide 125ma. And so the poor little rectifier busts a gut trying to satisfy the amp and in the process blows up!

The socket saver is there only so that the fat CV181s can fit with the rectifier - no other reason. The base of the rectifier is standard octal - it will plug directly into the WA5 or WA6.

Going to place another order of the Brimar 5z4gy, any other notable deals or must try tubes off of langrex' website?

So, this might have already been covered, but on the "common valve' listing, it says 5Z4G, but the picture right beside it says 5Z4GY, but the stock list has both.... For those who have received their orders, did you get the Y version or not?

They are both the same.

A warning: There are also Russian-made Brimar-branded 5Z4Gs. Be careful.

The ones from Yitry or Langrex seem to be fine.

Yeah. They should know the difference, and they also show photos.

I have some more hours on the Brimar. Bass is a little tighter. Biggest change is the mids / highs - the silkiness mentioned by Badas is coming through - lovely stuff.
 
This tubes beats the replica in every area I can think of for a tiny fraction of the price. Best value tube I have come across so far in HeadFi.
 
Buy some and enjoy

I hope there are some left - do they have to be matched pairs and do Langrex sell them as matched pairs?

Thanks badas, I had emailed langrex and they said the same thing. So before this all started, the stocklist showed 6668 total tubes.... I wonder how much of a dent everyone will have made when they update their stocklist
