RE: Rectifier choices for 650v HT

I can't tell you how two would factor but I've been running an amp with a 47uf input cap, using RCA, RTC and Raytheon 5R4's for a couple of years with zero issues and no arcing in any of the rectifiers at turn on..... although I recently acquired a case of Nos GEC U52's (labelled 5R4GY) which drop much less voltage and sound vastly better !
