Solid state rectifier in a DR and a SR and 6L6/6V6

12/10/2000 1:43 PM
Bjorn	Solid state rectifier in a DR and a SR and 6L6/6V6 I did try a SS plug instead of the GZ34 in both my amps. It sounded GREAT in the DR (with Svetlanasās 6L6) but not that great in the SR. In the SR the sag almost disappeared and it became almost like a Twin (I owned a 70āies MV TR before the SR). I was wondering ö is it OK to try the original RCA 6V6 and the SS rectifier in the DR ö I havnāt dared to try·? Bjorn

In the SR the sag almost disappeared and it became almost like a Twin (I owned a 70āies MV TR before the SR).

I was wondering ö is it OK to try the original RCA 6V6 and the SS rectifier in the DR ö I havnāt dared to try·?
