Enough already about your pet 'Low DCR' subject.By the way, the 5U4 has a MUCH higher voltage drop (54 volts at 300 ma) than a 6CM3 damper diode (10 volts at 350 mA), which is quite impressive. If low DCR is of such importance, than a damper diode may be a better choice. The rectifier is in series with the power transformer - what's the point in having a power transformer with less than 10 Ohms DCR if the rectifier has a ESR (equivalent series resistance) of 180 Ohms (54 volts / 300 mA)?
