RE: Adding parts ........

Hey Jeff,

Thanks for the advice.

"If you use a single 800 to 1,000 VDC rated quality WIMA DC LINK film in that one location, you can either add a single resistor, ( equal to the two in series used above, or 540 K 2 Watt ), to act as a drain-down, OR ... you can use NO RESISTOR there what so ever, to totally eliminate the sound of ANY Resistor across the supply."

There was a DIY type tube amp designer who passed away about ten years ago. One of his trade marks was not using a bleeder resistor. Do you remember his name? He also had a rep for type 45 amps.

Being a novice I will stick with bleeder resistors for a long while. I do remember reading his cite for the concept. It was in the official ham radio manual I believe. Long time ago.

Big speakers and little amps blew my mind!
