ss rectifier circuit design probs..

[nedhogan]

Hi there. I think the rectifier c for ircuit Ive made may be wrong somehow. Its for a 270VDC B+ for my tube preamp Ive made. It is super simple but is it a problem that the recrifier is wired (fused) to the mains?
It goes, rectifier, 22u 500v cap, 33k res, 10u cap.
The +ve is wired to my B+ and the -ve is wired to my signal ground. Also I am using a cheap double tap 6v mains tranny for the heaters.
The major problem is that my -ve is 110v or more and god knows how many amps! Any help?? ... Running 250v mains from + to - I have 300v ish

Oh dear lord in heaven.

You have directly rectified the mains? There are few things you can do that are more dangerous. If you want to make a circuit like that you need to run it off an isolation transformer.

Ha ha, that's what I did at the begining in 77 when I was tinkering with my Twin!!! What do I know at the time!!!

An isolation transformer is vastly cheaper than a funeral

nedhogan, no matter what you do, please:
1) unplug that killer circuit you built
2) ANSWER, say something, so we know you are still among us.
And this this not a joke.

EDIT: definitely not a joke.
