Home Tube DIY Asylum

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

RE: I know I sound like a broken record

Flashover occurring 8-10s after power on is about when the tube begins to conduct. At this point the IRL will still possess considerable resistance because it's not fuly warmed up. Whether or not this prevents startup flashover using substandard rectifiers is unknown. But there are other benefits even if it doesn't prevent the flashover so it would be one of the first measures I'd consider if the amp were mine.
