Paul Birkeland:
A little more specifically, if you have a small AC voltage, say 100mV, the diodes present a pretty large impedance and this is what's broken. If you have more than about 0.7V of anything AC or DC, then the diodes will start to short that out.

@PB: why not a Schottky?
Many thanks, Derek

My Crack w/SB is dead silent, but marked in case come across some noisy tubes.

You want the forward voltage drop to be significantly higher than the magnitude of the noise you're dealing with. The low forward voltage drop of a Schottky diode in this instance is a bit of a disadvantage.

Ah, yes. That makes sense. Thanks.
