Power Supply Resistors
Amps that have series filter caps have paralleled resistors to equalize the voltage across them. These resistors also act as bleeders when the power is off. My question is, if you are using only one filter cap in the first stage (lower B+), can you or should you use a paralleled resistor with it to act as a bleeder? If so, what value and power rating would you recommend? Thanks!
