Quote:If you use a diode as your 2nd detector, you need to do something with that tube that served as a "power detector."

My idea was to continue to use the power detector as is. I would add a IN34A as a second 'avc only' detector. I'm thinking it would probably work OK.

However, your circuit would probably sound better. From what I have read, the power detector circuits are prone to more distortion.
