jason	Re: 6,3 V DC filament supply In my preamp, I rectified the 6,3 V AC with two 1N4007 in series and one to ground after the first 1N4007. Then I put a 1000 uF (16V) to ground. what type of rectifier is this, I don't think I've seen this connection before (or am I missing something). Is the 6.3vac winding center tapped or do you have one side grounded? Recitfing and filtering 6.3vac should result in a higher voltage than 5.9 to 6.4 volts. jason
