Just compared 2SC5551 to 2SC3357 in an LZ1AQ amp. There is almost no difference in IP2/IP3 and frequency response. I was going to post to say the 2SC3357 are available, but looking at Digikey there are only 9 in stock. It says one week factory lead time and new product, so I assume they are still in production.
