Hi,Will a hydrid rectifier with 2 silicon diodes and 2 vacuum diodes offer acceptable performance? I have seen what seems to be a general concensus on this forum that silicon bridges have too much hash to offer top performance. I am interested because I am slowly collecting parts and designs for a transmitting tube amp to be built someday and I have a possibly suitable power transformer, except that it is not center tapped. I am not ruling out an all tube bridge, but the additional two filament transformers are a bit of extra hassle, weight, heat, etc. What sort of silicon diodes would be suitable, if any? Or should I keep looking for a centertap transformer? Voltage is undecided, as are topology (SE or PP) and tubes 211,813,845,GM70), but would be in the usual 850-1500V range. Suggestions as to designs also much appreciated.
Thanks,
Michael
