I`ve been looking around and haven`t found much on the topic.
all i see is that damper diodes have very low zero crossing noise.
on the other hand, they seem to sag the voltage the second a load is put on.
what is the great advantage of using Damper diodes especially when i cant keep the voltage constant?

Hi
The advantages and disadvantages should be the same as for any indirectly heated tube rectifier.
What´s special about dampers is that they often can take more voltge and current than "regular" dual rectifiers.
And, of course, they are dirt cheap.

okay.
i did a search on damper diodes and found solid state counterparts with lables "BYVXX" would these guys work?

I would STAY AWAY from SS damper diodes.
A vacuum damper diode you can look at is the 6AU4. Search AES' website (www.tubesandmore.com) for additional damper types.
SED's 6D22S is in production, but it requires a cathode cap and a Magnoval socket.
