Home Tube DIY Asylum

Do It Yourself (DIY) paradise for tube and SET project builders.

not a fan of SS, but

DAK,

In my guitar amps I lift the center tap of the high voltage winding with a large and heatsinked 25K/50W resistor.

It brings B+ down from 300V to like 40v.

Lot of companies switch between the rectifiers and the first cap as you stated above. I am not a real fan of that. But then again I don't like SS rectifiers either.

Thanks,
Gordon
