Question about Hybrid Tube/SS Bridge Rectifier
#3
Thanks for the reply. It's helpful. The question was pretty nebulous. I was planning on trying to use a single tube rectifier with a pair of diodes for negative half of the bridge.

I build quite a few of low wattage Tweed style amps which usually have a tube rectifier with a 315-0-315 high voltage secondary. I happen to have some power transformers of basically the same VA with 300V secondary for a bridge rectifier that I thought I'd try they hybrid rectifier with. I was just pondering what the differences in sound would be between the two setups. Probably the acid test would be to stop wondering ad build one!
