Hello fellas,
I I'm building the power supply for my tube amp and need some help.
The plan is to implement ss rectification into a damper diode, like 6D22S used for soft start, delay and maybe a bit cleaner B+. They're cheaper than relays and I have the heater current (1.9A) to spare.
Given the fact the 6D22S has a top cap as the cathode, for safety purposes I want to put it on the negative side, in series with the ss bridge. Also being indirectly heated I will use the same 6.3V ct winding for all othe tubes in the amp.
Now the heater-cathode voltage as per datasheet is +200, or -600 continuous.
Will the h-k specs be all right in this configuration, or I will need to do something else, like putting it on the positive side, rerouting the ct of the heater winding, etc.?
Also if you have other suggestions like placing it before first cap are all welcomed.
Please see the schematics attached.
Thank you,
Radu
