In the datasheets for 6AU4, 6AX4, etc, they state that "use of this tube
as a power rectifier is not recommended".
Why is it not recommended? I don't see any flaws.
Hi RATs!
Um, some folks used WE 300B tubes as diodes. No accounting for design
muses.
This is not a mystery. Back when everybody made tubes, it was common
to diss "cross applications".
RCA radios had stern warnings: "Use RCA tubes for best performance."
So did many other brands ... some skepticism is recommended.
Of course, if you use TV dampers for a power supply and your dick
falls off, you can't say they didn't warn you.
Hi-Fi means whatever you think it means. Even if you are really,
really smart or whatever
Happy Ears!
