I'm in need of expert help here.
The schematics of my SE EL34 tube amp (without negative feedback) is attached.
It has 1x 5Y3 Tube Rectifier, 2x 6N3 Driver Tubes and 2x EL34 Power Output tubes.
It can work with a Tung Sol 5Y3GT (currently) or Bendix 6106 (tried without problems).
I'm coming down with a bout of tube rolling "itch". ;)
In place of the 5Y3 rectifier, can I safely sub a 5U4G, 5R4GY, GZ32 or GZ34 rectifier into this amp?
