Peter,
After a certain amount of UF there is a point of diminishing returns. Once something is quiet, it is quiet. You can't get anything more quiet than quiet.
I am skeptical about the other responder saying that he hears differences when he goes or clips in more UF and then unclips them. But it's his ears and who am I or anyone else to judge what he hears. I wish I had hearing that good.
To me(getting off subject a bit), I hear more of a difference(for the better in my opinion) when I took an ST-70 or a pair of MK III's and took the choke out and put in another filtering section, than I ever would putting in huge amounts of UF on a filament supply. That choke deadens the sound immensely. Most will argue that it is needed or a choke of some nature that can handle the current. I am not into an argument. All I can say is what I hear.
