When you pair the Sophia Princess with a brighter sounding drive/power tube, you get a very full and rich sound…and this is coming from someone who owns the NU-596/Brimar 5Z4G which are both very good sounding tube, so it comes down to mixing.matching rectifier and drive/power tubes to achieve different sound signatures for your musical tastes, which is why we roll tubes. 
So, I wouldn't say the SP isn't a great rectifier tube at all…just different with the correct matching. :smile:

Fair enough. I'll give it I try with differnet drives and see what I get.
Thanks.
