Hi all,
I came from solid state world. I live in Poland. My friend gave me set of 2 output Transformers 5k. Want to try my luck in tube world with spud.
How to replace 260-0-260/tube rectification with solid state one? I still need center tapped or all I need is proper level of output DC?
CLC from tube PSU will be enough?
Cheers,
Daniel
Yeah some great info there. I use PSUD2 regularly and it's always VERY close to actual measured. Sim the PS I spec and then replace the tube rectifier with SS diodes and you will see the difference. One advantage a tube rectifier has, especially the indirectly heated ones is the slow voltage rise. It gives the other tube heaters a head start on the B+, which output tubes like.
