Single Ended Triodes (SETs), the ultimate tube lovers dream.

RE: A final (I hope) question about main-PS (600VDC) caps for my Frankensteins

I'm seeing a sand bridge rectifier and a 5u4 followed by a choke that is only good for 100 mA. With the bleed on the end, that choke has to be pushing 90% current capacity for 10H.

Before I mortgage my house on boutique Caps, I would consider working the impedance down on your PS if the down stream can handle it(IMO). I'm with Mike on the Black Solens in the PS...you will be hard pressed to get RIO by changing them out.

I saw the pictures early...looks like a nice build...
