I replaced the 5Y3GT Tung Sol with another Tung Sol 5U4G (Coke Bottle).
Nothing's blown up yet! :)
I did have to rebias the amp though and set the bias lower from around 0.9 mV to 0.7 mV as per the manufacturer's recommendation.
My 5U4G is a NOS specimen so I'm letting it burn in for about 20 hours before I proceed to carry out a more indepth comparison.
