[QUOTE="Ampdog, post: 70267, member: 144"] A point here (actually a general one). My thoughts are that for initial slow powering up (through a lamp or whatever) with regard to the electrolytics, I would remove the valves (I presume this is a valve amp.). Point being that I would feel uncertain about applying h.t., although not full up, to valves working at a fraction of their heater voltage. I find no reference to this sort of thing, only to the possibility of cathode stripping when heaters are coming on under full h.t. Still. If the rectifier is also a valve that will just have to take it as it must be present of course. Does anybody else have information on this? [/QUOTE]
