What type of chassis do you plan on using? The schematic of the PSU is obviously not for monoblocks. I was going to use a Zen amp layout like this one kind of. I was going to mout all of the chokes underneath the chassis. Whatever yo do make sure to keep the laminations perpidicular to one another and you should be fine. Michael Perrcy has a nice selection of Mill's WWs and Kiwame carbon films. Keep us up to date. Cheers.

lots of informations...
I understood the PSU caps were motor caps, and, alas, I've had little surprise with them when I tried to replace electolytics in some amp ...not the same size, as you say...So this time,I'll take my time and a large sheet of aluminium. And mount the caps verticaly.As I did not do for my End Of Zen, but like I did for the VTV pre I'm building. If only I knew how to stick pictures in this message, I could show you (proud poppa syndrom ;-)
By the way, It's funny you are talking about building this 6V6ParaFeed in monoblocks. Kept me awaken this night,as I was thinking of redesigning the PSU for MBlocks. With 5U4GT instead of GZ34. Not that I prefer the 5U4GT, but I have a dozen of them and I don't know where to put them.
Do you think It's possible to go Mblocks 5U4GT ? Want to try to redesign PSU ?

  Hi Eric,
  For monoblocks you would need to change the 75 ohm resistor to 150 ohms and change the 4.7K resistors(or resistor in this case) to 2.5k. If you decide to only use one choke then substitute one with a 270 ohm power resistor and all of the values should stay very close ie +/- 2%. Changing from a 5AR4 to a 5U4G will not make a whit of difference practically speaking. Please post pictures of the build. May your solder flow smoothly :).

    I already have the Power transformer, and the chokes and the caps It will be stereo block...As soon as I have the answer from Mikey about trx shipment, and as soon as they arrive.
    
    I'll let you know.
    Thanks for this design.
    Eric
