Hi!
I just noticed that there are changes to the 18w tmb layout on the ceriatone website.
There is an addition of diodes to the rectifier as well as extra resistors and capacitors around the
standby switch - does anybody know why these changes have been made? I built my 18w tmb 6 months ago so I'm wondering if I should add these changes to mine.

As for the diodes and cap, that's a new mod indeed. It's to protect the tube recto better.

I just finished my Creme Brulee and the diodes were included in the kit. I ask Nik if I had to wire them. He said that it is especially important for the GZ34 rect.

So if you are running the 36 watt I would do it. Just pay attention and don't install them back wards like I did.

Ok - so its rectifier protection. What about the change on the standby switch is that for soft starting the rectifier?
What happened when you installed them diodes backwards? - Just curious.
