A tube rectifier will drop this down a bit (where the copper cap will not).

oooops... yes it will. it has power resistors and other components in it to emulate the plate resistance of the vacuum tube rectifier it is emulating. The copper cap WU4GB or the WY3GT will drop as much or more as its vacuum tube counterpart.

My bad. I always assume they're using a straight diode thing as opposed to one of the ones with the nifty tube emulating circuit.

Would it matter whether the amp is biased or not since it is still in stand by . I hooked it up to a varic at 115 volts and it went up to 481 volts. Is this still too high since it is over the caps rating of 475? I took out the old 450v one.
