"the 5U4GB maximum capacitor value from the tube manufacture stays vs your idea of calculating peak current with no capacitor value chart that means nothing to other audiophiles"

Although not a 5U4GB, my post above explains how the 3 charts found in some data sheets are used to determine whether or not a particular cap value is safe to use in a particular situation. The formulas used are right on the charts. I'm not very technically oriented at all and I was able to work though the steps.

In that amp the 5Y3GT, whose data sheet lists a 20uf cap value, safely uses a 47uf cap according to the charts in its data sheet.

The link I provided goes through the process - step by step - so it shouldn't be too hard to follow if you are actually interested in understanding it.

Did you read the post I linked and work through the process using the charts?
