I have recently built my 300B SET based on Thorsten's Legacy amp. I wouldn't have built it if it wasn't for Thorsten's encouragement... In my case, my power supply is based on standard 5U4 rectifier into pi filter which drives the Legacy. My heater supply is DC. It took me a while to have the proper operating load voltage for the driver stage, but once I got it the sound is really astounding. I used iron from James Transformer. I compared it against JE Labs with Hammond iron and found it sounded very close, subjectively speaking... I use motor run caps in the power supply section and also incorporated ultrapath in the circuit each time resulted in better music... I listen to it almost every day for the last 10 months, each time I have it turned on for 4-5 hours and it is still going strong... Overall, it has been a great experience.
