SET owners, need help with Rectifier tube


I am looking to replace the rectifier tubes in my Coincident Frankenstein monoblocks. The current tube which came with the amps is a GZ4P. I have learned the P designation indicates a Chinese tube.

Does anyone have experience with a Russian substitute which is a 5U4C?

Mullard has a substitute which is a GZ30 which go for $50.00 each. Is it possible these tubes can effect a sonic improvement?

Any input would be much appreciated. Thanks.
