Will it hurt the power transformer to change the bridge rectifier-to-ground resistor to an even lower value than the 2 ohms I'm presently using (origional value was 15 ohms)? I've looked at schematics of amps from other companies and see that many times the bridge rectifier is hooked directly to ground without any resistors.

I was wondering earlier about using cathode resistors but didn't know how to adjust the values. I think I'll try this soon.
