DIY Armageddon - Advice Needed Please

Hi Everyone,

I'm a newbie to the Asylum, but have been a Vinyl Addict since birth. My TT, since 1984, is a Linn LP12/Valhalla/Basic/P77. I have recently started to listen to my vinyl collection again, and wonder how I ever managed to listen to CD! (I will get an Ittok, MC, Black Cube as soon as funds allow!)

I plan to build an Armageddon PSU for my LP12. I have read the LP12 Faq, searched the Net, read the Asylum archives. I plan to use the circuit in the LP12 Faq, in the following manner:

A Schaffner Filter (high performance, FN321) in front of a Torroidal Transformer (500VA, 110V secondary). The Caps are Metallised Polyester (BC Components) 250 Volt, 100nF. The resitor is a 3K3 Ohm 3Watt. Of course, a fuse, switch and metal enclosure will be added. The components are sourced at RS here in South Africa.

Here is my question:

Are the specs in this design correct? I am not sure about the capacitor values. Also, I have come across a schematic, that has two 3k3 Ohm resistors in parallel. (www.multimania.com/jadai/Geddon.html)

Any advice will be much appreciated!

Chris
