#1 Wanted.......6DW4 damper diodes

Post by spresto9 »

Hi, dose anyone have 6off 6DW4 diodes for sale? or know where I can get them in the uk?
also looking for 4off sockets for the same (B9D ?)
I want to try to make some plug in replacements for the 5AU4's my WAD PSE amps, this should give me the extra voltage and slow start I need to add Mike's Fetregs
Thanks

Sockets would seem to be Novar , Magnoval or B9d (same socket, different names) as used for the 6D22s or EY500 damper diodes.

I take it you are not keen on damper diodes with a top cap ?

I don't like the cheap ceramic sockets at all, I find the tags fall out. :wink: I did get some that I liked, but they were more expensive, something like these were better.

or these even better.

Thanks for the info and the useful links. I'd prefer to use the 6DW4's because they have the right voltage drop and only 1.2A heaters.
Thanks
