RE: Choke inductance - lower currents?

Hello!

Thank you for your answer. Good to know that the input choke doesn�t need to "swing" as much as I first thought.

If I follow your recommendations my 300B monoblocks probably need bleeders with a current draw of around 40-50 mA and that will indeed produce a lot of heat. I probably make separate power supplies for the input and driver stage to get better flexibility when experimenting, AND to reduce the risk of destroying everything if something goes wrong.
