Schematic attached with voltages indicated.
I'm measuring different voltages across the "positive" diodes than the "negative" diodes in the full wave bridge rectifier I'm using in my amp. The voltage drop across the positive diodes is about 197VDC and the voltage across the negative diodes is 257VDC. This is with the tubes removed and the amp power on and standby on. If I turn the standby switch off, the voltages drop but the trend stays the same, 190VDC and 195VDC, positive and negative diodes, respectively. Does this seem strange to anyone else?
