RE: Standby switch...pros and cons?

Even if the standby switch is located at the transformer CT, it won't solve this problem. The filter caps won't charge until the switch is closed. What Eflow said about solid state supplies is correct. I have several old HKs that use solid state rectification in a high-current voltage doubler configuration. None has experienced a PS failure despite more than 50 years of service.
