Home Tube DIY Asylum

Do It Yourself (DIY) paradise for tube and SET project builders.

RE: 159ZA chokes ...

no it wasn't flywheel, although I experimented with that then also.

seems like I Was using the 159 as input choke, followed by 50uf, then a triad c40x, then 50uf, then another triad c40x...

it worked well... around that time jeff started telling us that 3 LCs was bad so I started reducing.

my recollection is that with 80mA and a KT120 in an SE amp that "LSES" wasn't clean enough.


my current main rig is l-critical choke input class A push pull... with ~ 700uF of film caps... big heavy choke, too much capacitance, wrong wire in single runs, constant current sinks, cree diodes, the jeff anti-thesis... ;)

have to build both sides to compare after all!
