Converting Solid State to Tube Rectification on a Preamp

...so you need to check all 4 tubes in tube rectifier bridge if operational?

...so you need to check all 4 tubes in tube rectifier bridge if operational?

So, it can be done, the question is why you want to do that!

Well, if it's to me, than perhaps I can assume some degree of masochism as tubes get blown over 10 times faster than diode.

 I think the best bridge approach with vacuum tubes can actually be done with 2 triodes as each triode can be represented with equivalent 2 diodes.

czarivey,

Do you think your two triode ideal approach might explain why the manufacturer of my phonostage utilizes two 300b (or two 2a3s) as rectifiers in the power supply section?
