Hello can i use a Bendix 5852 instead of the 6x5 rectifier in the audionote kits?
I ask this because the Bendix draw the double current 1,2A instead of 0,6 A for the 6x5
Is the transformer build for this?

And what is a another good advice for a good sounding rectifier in these kits?

So go ahead and try it - thanks! Brian

You may also want to look at upgrading the ECL 82 tube as I noticed a nice increase in overall dynamics with this tube. I'm using the Telefunken version in all 3 units as well...
