I just can't bring myself to put it into my amp at the moment .Have been rolling rectifiers recently in my 300b amp, including ones that I had long forgotten about. Amongst these is a Chatham 'Potato Masher' 5R4WGA that I didn't hold high hopes for, but surprisingly I haven't had the urge to swap it out yet. To me it is well balanced and there is something seductive about the lows, not the widest soundstage but good depth. It won't win any beauty contests granted but can be had for peanuts compared to some others.
Has anyone else tried this and been pleasantly surprised?

Have to agree, would spoil the look of your stunning amp. Is that a Brimar 5R4GY?I just can't bring myself to put it into my amp at the moment .

I have several of those will give them a try again ,it's been so longIt is a very nice rectifier that many people ignore. As a matter of fact I used it yesterday on my amp. I bought it about 5 years ago for $10.00.
