I haven't found if anyone has used these as substitutes yet, but was considering ordering them from Newark along with the 2n5551 that has R47 attached to the emitter.
And yes the R47 is an issue too. The one in this amp was badly burned.
Do you think All the 2n5551 and 2n5401 should be replaced?
Also what was the value of R47? I have found one person that had a 220 ohm and soldered a 47 ohm in parallel with it which would bring it down to 38.7 ohm.
