hey-Hey!!!,
That only applies to the doubler input caps; the final B+ still needs the higher voltage, and to get it one needs the HV caps or series-connected pairs. Heathkit did that on the DH-rectified W5m for example, as well as Sheldon Stokes on his cap boards for the Dynaco amps.
cheers,
Douglas
