I can confirm that I am successfully using a Philips 5R4GYS Made in Holland from Upscale Audio in my Super Zen with no problems. I am not sure how that compares to a 5R4GY.

I emailed Steve/Sarah about it a while ago before purchasing. I may have posted about it before. It sounds good, but I am not a review writer.

I also use a preferred series 274B from the tube store dot com without any issues.

Finally, I also use a TAD GZ34 from cryoset dot com. It works well.

Have had no problems with it and think it sounds better the the 274B. I haven't tried any other brands of this type tube. On the plus side the price was good, only paid 40.00 for it.
