Home Tube DIY Asylum

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

RE: ok, so...

Initially, I had a bridge (I think). There I used four 1N5822 diodes and just left out the center tap. My voltage was at 9VDC which was, well, too damn high. I thought it had something to do with not using the center tap, so I changed the configuration to the full wave rectifier.

I guess I just needed a larger dropping resistor in my bridge? My bridge was positive/neg out with the positive side through a 10,000uF cap, then a .2 ohm resistor, then another 10,000uF cap, then out...
Should my negative side have been to chassis ground??? That was where I was stumped and now I'm thinking it should have been grounded. This was just a dry run on a power supply for my phono preamp...
