JJ 5Y3S | Good rectifier
by PTW
I've used this JJ-5Y3 rectifier interchangeably with the Sovtek 5AR4 (which has a slightly smaller bottle) for several years, and the B+ comes out nearly the same in either case. The JJ 5Y3 has been running in several of my amps (custom builds and vintage restorations) for several years now, and I have never seen or gotten a complaint of one failing. (To the reviewer, eb, who comments on the filament voltage being 5A vs. 6.3V: 5A is the common filament voltage for rectifiers; standard preamp and power tubes use 6.3V. That's why power transformers come with windings for both voltages).
Nice in 5E3
by RickB
Just replaced an old RCA 5Y3 with this tube in a Fender Tweed Deluxe 5E3 amp. Sounds and feels very authentic. Solid.
Good Rectifier Tube
by Eb
Used this tube in a 6L6 SE design and has been a good solid rectifier tube. I find the output of the tubes to average about 67% of the input. Only downfall is that they are designed for a 5V filament whereas 6.3 is a more common on power transformers.
