If I were concerned about listener fatigue, then I wouldn't get anywhere near a solid state device. If you replaced the GZ34 with diodes, then the B+V would rise considerably. It would have much noise floor trash (spike hash) in it from silicon rectification. The existing choke and caps will not completely clean this up. About the only place it would benefit to use a single 1n4007 is the bias supply. Yes there are hexfreds but they require heat sinking and still aren't as good as a tube rectifier. If you're concerned about cost of the rectifier, then there are damper diode tubes you could convert to (many varieties just sitting on the shelf & cheap). The only problem is that you have to use two. The best! James
