I recently found these at a junk sale 3 1943,48,62 RCA 5V4G's, these tubes are so very nice sounding, I've been listening to a 1942 RCA 5U4G for the past few weeks which sounds great also I have a nice collection of 5U4G's and imo think the 5V4G's have  better top end and clairty and deeper bass then any of my 5U4G's in fact the 5V4G's bass 
impact is one of the best I've heard.
 
I have a lot of fun listening to this tube if you've never tried one you owe it to yourself to get one there an inexpensive tube, I now perfer the 5V4G over any of my 5U4G's.
Here's my current combo 1943 RCA 5V4G, a pair of 1942 Sylvania VT-99's and a pair of 1948 RCA 6AS7G's what a great match for jazz so smoooth..

How do i get my hands on a WE422A adapter?

 

[HeadJammie]

I have tried the WE274A, WE274B,WE422A, Cossor 53KU and GEC U52 in my WA22. I liked the WE tubes best especially with WE421A's and TS 6SN7GT black glass with round not oval plates.

I sold the We274A and 274b as the difference with the 422A couldn't justify the price difference. This is why I curious about the adapter. I also find the GEC U52 great on certain tupes of music but find the 422A more versatile.

Could anyone compare the Brimar 5Z4GY and the Brimar 5R4GY?  How different or similar are they?  is the 5R4GY worth the extra cost?

Your own personal fireplace. All you need is a loved one to cosy up by and a bottle of wine.

Mullard GZ30 I got from Langrex sounds very nice in a decware taboo mkIII.  Does not have a wide sound stage but it still has a very good balanced sound stage also in height with surprisingly rich bass.

I have listed to both. They sounded the same to me. I noticed the black base had black plates and the brown had grey. So I was listening for differences. I didn't notice anything.

 
I found the same when comparing the black and brown base 5Z4GY

The wait for the Taks is audiophile torture - really looking forward to putting the TA300Bs and TA274Bs in the WA5 and hearing the result. I think it will blow me clean away (in a good way)

 
I am sure you will be delighted with the result, though my condolences for your wallet!

Wallet survived, but it was near thing

 
My ears are thanking me. TS RP + TA300B + TA274B is rather good. Not fully stabilised yet, but already the sound is quite something.
