No argument here as far as rolling the rectifier. Yes, no signal goes to it except the dc voltage it provides is the whole signal that is amplified. Besides, your unit is different now compared to stock. Let's say your preamp is a new design using the psu of a Supratek preamp and any experiment you have may or may not be applicable to stock Chenin's.
Oh well, as long as u have fun doing what you are doing.
