What's the current view on equalizing caps and resistors across diodes in
rectifier strings? The ARRL handbook says you should put a 0.01 mf capacitor
and (I think) 1000 ohms per volt resistor across each diode. I dimly recall a
discussion in which this was said to be *not* advisable. I'm using 5 1N5408's
per leg of a fwb with 2400 vac input.
