RE:No, not really.

Since this is a kit, they provided a schematic. Look at the schematic at the power supply and at the tube rectifier. The B+ will come off pin 8 usually, on the rectifier and after that there will be either a capacitor then the choke then another cap. This is called a Pi filter. If it is a choke input filter the schematic would show no capacitor connected between the rectifier and the choke. The choke would be connected to pin 8 and then there would be a cap after the choke.
So if you have the Pi filter what is the value of the first cap? If it is a choke filter the size of the cap following is not as critical.
