[QUOTE="handsome, post: 1120742, member: 772"] Its not the secondary resistance, its the fact that at switch on the heaters are cold and therefore the device draws zero current so your secondary voltage will charge the capacitors to peak secondary ACV (x1.4 since mains is a sine wave)[I] or higher - [/I]without any current the draw secondary resistance will create little to no voltage drop. I would use series caps with equalising resistors across them of course. Reliability is as important as sound quality. [/QUOTE]
