cool tidbits!this could go a long way to explain why MV tubes sound different than every othr rectifier that i have heard.... wouldn't this sort of force a constant current type of operation of the rectifier which would act as a type of snubber resisting any hash attempting to enter from the line?
i have always stated that the mv tubes give a "cleaner"(whatever that means) and some added inductance may help to explain this.
i would also expect unlike chokes, this inductance is very wide bandwidth??? and would it be a near ideal inductance??
i love the wealth of info these old texts can show us...
