My Emission Labs 5U4G just died suddenly in my WA22. All other tubes lit up, but not the EML 5U4G.  I have not experienced somethings like this before.It sounded great, then suddenly was dead??

 Shocking! Not that an EML Glass hasn't met an early demise often before, we've seen that in recent times, 2010-2011. When did you acquire it - what gen is it? Under or over warranty? Sorry to hear about your investment.
 
Perhaps, this is a sign or trace for me to suspend the upgrades and invest in a tube tester.

 The horror! You didn't have the latest improved (allegedly) version. What do you have in the way of backup rectifiers?

Source a 596 with an adapter, it is one of the best kept secret of Woo amp rectifier.  Good luck finding one...

Yes, it is as good if not better than EML 5U4G at a fraction of the cost.  It is very hard to find but it is worth every pennies if you can find one.
