Tube Amp Archive

I asked earlier about SS rectifiers in a 5f1/2 circut and think I have crossed that hurdle. My goal is to build a low powered recording/bedroom amp, my 5 watters are just too loud turned up. I'm am not looking for much headroom or cleans from this amp. I'm looking for something close to 1/2-1 watt. ...

Thank you for the layout, pretty much what I was looking for. That layout has vastly different filter cap values than a stock 5f2. is this because of the use of a SS rectifier? Also what is the purpose of the 5k 2watt resistor across filter cap 1 and 2? Sorry for the noobish questions.

I've come across a power tranny I'd like to use for a 5F1 project, but it does not have a 5v tap for a tube rectifier. I was wondering if anyone had a schematic and/or layout for a 5F1 with a solid state rectifer. Or knows how to incorperate a SS rectifier in that circut.
