Sophia Electric Aqua II 274B Rectifier Tube
03/24/24 at 21:35:57
 
Has anyone used this tube in place of the decware supplied rectifier? I am currently using the original Aqua 274B but the newer version has diffent specs "The Aqua II has a higher current output (max 220ma) compared to the original Aqua 274B (max 180ma), and compared to the WE 274B (max 150ma)." Does anyone currently use this tube in their decware amp or knows if can be used safely. I have a TABOOMK4.

Greetings, you will find through the boards many have used the newer 274B and rave about it, besting its predecessor. I have 2 in my current setup and love them.

I have been using one for the SEWE300B and the CSP3 and a "SE84UFO2" clone amp. NO issues, great sound.

Yea, a favorite of many including me. I use it in my Sarah (though my Sophie is enjoying a long deserved break at the moment).

I have 3 of them. Good rectifiers. Im going sell one with low hours less than 200. When I get home I can give exact time.  

I went with the STL STR so won’t be using it anymore.
