6X5
6X5 is a full wave rectifier. It contains two diodes with a common – indirectly heated – cathode. The valve is notorious for shorting out to ground and destroying the transformer, especially when driven to its limits. This can be avoided by using a separate (floating) 6V supply for the filament of the 6X5.
