Re: Circuit design help - power supply - Non FIRST

I was doing a little more thinking about this today.

You're essentially trying to work with a rectified sine wave, but keep it from dropping to 0V. Why not take the straight rectified signal, then add a DC portion to it? If your amplifier can do DC, then you can just add it before the amp. If not, then you'd have to add it to the output. Maybe put some other DC supply in series with the output of the amp?
