[Amps] Rectifier equilization?

[Vic K2VCO]

The resistors are definitely not needed. I used capacitors in my recent project in order 
to eliminate switching noise which might appear in my receiver -- I don't know if this was 
needed, since I didn't try it without the capacitors first!

They should also provide some protection against transients, although I also have MOVs in 
the primary.
