I almost finished with my new power supply which will use 2 paralleled 5ar4. I recently read an article which brought up the possibility of one tube passing most of the current. Should I worry about one tube shouldering most of the work in a 2 tube rectifier circuit. I have checked out many schematics of 2 tube rectified power supplies and don't recall any additional components to address this. Any insights will be appreciated. cheers, Dak |
