RE: Garg0yle 2A3 DC

"I'm finding much smaller value chokes in LCLC arrangement gets good results and is quiet enough , I think this is the best sounding HT supply for SE . I would not suggest the low-value chokes and caps that Jeff does but I would suggest steering well clear of cap-input supplies"

I am pretty limited to the CLC configuration I have now, I considered the choke input, but it drops the voltage to much with what I have.

"I don't like ultrapath , it always seems more noisy and requires more reservoir capacitance for a given level of ripple which seems to cancel any benefits . YMMV ."

It's a bit early for me to form a concrete opinion one way or the other with the ultrapath just yet. I don't seem to have an issue as far as noise but I do agree I could use a little more C.

"Why not just stack the supplies ? One for the 2A3 with a slow warmup rectifier and another for the driver stage with SS or DH rectifier ?"

I had not considered that. Just to clarify, did you mean using one transformer or two?
