Re: Bridge rectifier
The advantage is that if there is any current in the ground, because of either the amp circuit drawing different amounts from the +ve and -ve rail or the audio not being balanced around 0 then you don’t pass the current through the transformer secondary and so cause it to saturate.
Re: Bridge rectifier
As we know Richard was very frugal when it came to components so spending another £1 on an extra rectifier must have been justified in terms of sound quality !!

Re: Bridge rectifier
