Calculating first cap size with multiple rectifiers

Tube DIY Asylum

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

How does using multiple rectifiers influence the recommended size of the first capacitor?

Case in point - I'm using two 6BY5 rectifiers. Recommended first cap is 8uF. Can this be increased when you double the rectifiers?
