Rotel transformer Help

[glennjarrett]

i have a rotel power amp the mains transformer blew
i have a transformer of the correct voltage but only one output 40-0-40 the original had 2x 40-0-40 one for each amp board
the amp is bridgeable
what i would like to know is can i feed both amp boards which have on board rectifiers before the smoothing caps with just one output
or should i remove the rectifiers from each board and just use one to feed both boards schematic included
many thanks Glenn

If you do that it will probably work, but have a ground loop and a lot of hummmmmmm.
