Confusion about a 5Y3GT rectifier

DF96 - There is a lot of snake oil in the hifi market for sure however if you base your knowledge off physics then you'll understand.


6A3sUMMER - I didn't.

however if you base your knowledge off physics then you'll understand.

If you are referring to separate heater and B+ transformers, then the only 'physics' aspect imho is if the heater windings are being pummelled for a DC heater supply, or if the B+ supply is grossly distorting the AC heater winding voltage - is that what you meant, or is there some other physics issue you are alluding to.

Monode,

Your post # 18 does say 5R4.
The 5R4 was not mentioned in posts #1 - 17.
The 5AR4 was mentioned in some of those earlier posts.
That is why I questioned why you mentioned the 5R4.
That's all.

I am still waiting for you to tell me the physics. Are you going to be helpful or mysterious?
