RE: Kurt: Do youhave schematic examples of a properly designed choke input PS( +-100v) for a SS amp?nt

No, but it's the same principles applied. The critical inductance, the voltage expected with margin, the regulation improved, etc. The complete formula never changes, but the values entered will. Then there's practical matters. For a complete analysis, simulators can show a lot in the different cases.

For one case, use typical tube PS LC values. For a given sized current draw and capacitance in the PS, change the values expected for a SS amp, too. Try different values and see the simulated results. Do not forget to put in the correct R values in the L's.
