RE: Steve Bench dht ac filament hum reduction circuit

Ah hominem attacks and our past decisions aside, there is a theoretical basis for DHT life expectancy being sensitive to filament voltage variation. If the Coleman regs, as a CCS, don't provide consistent voltage, there is an increased risk of reducing tube life. I believe this is one of the reasons EML would not warrant tubes using those types of supplies.

I'm willing to pay a bit more TentLabs, which have slow start and regulate the voltage... and sound good. Not as cheap though.

YMMV, IMO etc.
