[QUOTE="okstrat, post: 12362, member: 157"] One neat thing about having a tube rectifier is that you can swap out different ones within spec that will change the B+ Voltage to your amp. Some rectifiers are more efficient than others. If you do this, you'll need to check your bias as it will have changed, but you can really vary your B+ voltage (think of it as a built in variac) with this trick. The nicest thing about this type of a 'variac' is that you aren't messing with the heater voltages so as long as you keep an eye on your bias it's a harmless mod.If you get a plug in rectifier like the Webers, then you have that many more options.
