It's a choke input supply ie LCLC which should present an easy load to the rectifier. As I mentioned below this amp works fine with a variety of rectifiers, just not with the JJ's. I would think that they have sold a number of these tubes and I was wondering if I got a bad batch or something. I have another pair (I bought 4) that I may try in a 6L6 PP amp that also uses 5AR4's and see what happens. I have a tube tester but it's very old and non-replaceable so I'm a bit leery of toasting it for curiosity's sake. At any rate, testers don't tell you what's wrong with a rectifier, only if it works or not.
