I am questioning if anyone can really discern a difference in an amp with
tube audio amplifiers that has a solid state, full wave bridge rectifier
versus the same tube type amp that also has a tube rectifier section. In
both cases, the rectifier, tube or solid state, is simply producing the
plate and grid voltages needed for the audio (signal) tube amps.
I just don't think that the resultant, filtered high voltage, regardless
of
source, makes any difference in sound or coloration

I agree and you are correct.

It's been one of those days - I'm totally out of synch with life, the
universe and everything. Additionally, a certain person of my
acquaintance (not to mention any names, but first initial Mrs. last
initial Wave) cheerfully informed me that retirement is still a ways
off because she has some things she wants to accomplish at a national
level with her professional association.

I can't freakin' win for losing today. :)

And you forgot about the old Silicon Rectifiers.

I have an old Vox bass amp that I made the mistake of leaving sit in a
hotern' hot attic for a summer. It weakened the crystals!
