I dare you to post that on audio karma next time there is a debate on which rectifier tubes sound better. The responses to that should be priceless.

Jim's idea is a good approach (especially if on a budget or your xformer overheats with a normal 5U4), but if you make your own don't forget to add snubber caps across the diodes to reduce switching noise especially in radio applications.
