Re: The KISS AMP: a progress report

John:

Take a simple diode capable of handling the 500V. Say.. 1N4007. Connect
it to one of the secondary winding leads. That will drop the voltage
across the winding from 500V to .707 x 500V. Feed that to the
rectifier. So, instead of windings-to-rectifier (assuming no dropping
resistors), now it is winding to diode to rectifier to winding. In only
_one_ of the two leads.

Or, do you not remember curtain-burner radios where this simple
expedient off the line-cord drops the 120V to about 84V or so?
