Re: Filtering Cap Value Question???

Download a copy of duncan amps power supply design tool (free). It's a wonderful program. http://www.duncanamps.com

You can simulate the power supply design you have in mind and try various options.

One of my early mistakes was to "over filter" power supplies. I've now learned that more is not better, especially where capacitors are concerned. I prefer choke loaded supplies, with the largest capacitor after the second choke. Watch the size of the first capacitor, especially with tube rectifiers.
