I posted my GM 70 build earlier and everything working great except for some mechanical hum in one of my GM 70 filament supplies.
I'm using a Rod Coleman fed by bridge to CLC supply recommended by Rod.
First cap is 22,000uf 35v, choke is common mode with a couple dropper resistors.
One amp is not bad, the other one is much worse and very noisy in a silent room.
I remember Maximillion having some noise issues as well will some hammonds.Transformer used is a HAmmond 185G20 175 20V C.T. @8.8A
Not sure if I should try to change transformer manufacturer, use isolation mounts or try a LCLC supply.
The current large cap puts a huge strain on this transformer.Your thoughts?
