Home Tube DIY Asylum

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

Let go of it, would you please?

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)?
