Thanks for all the great replies! The possibility that a split supply might degrade coherency isn't something I had considered. I don't have time to prototype a fully split version of this, and not enough parts to A-B the two types if I did. So, I'll probably build with a single transformer. The original sonics (including coherency) are very good for this type of amplifier, and there might be more to lose than to gain by making such a major change. Dual supplies aside, as part of the anticipated PS upgrade I'm also thinking about adding a separate filament transformer. That would relieve the power transformer of almost 30W of steady-state power draw. Should be a fun build!
