RE: 5U4G Flash on startup

Yikes! 1200 mike after a tube rect. With 40 mike caps it'd hum like billyo. I'd convert the psu to a CLC system if the amp was mine and there was space, say 40 mike then 5 henry low DCR choke (to replace that 20 ohm resistor) followed by 200 mike etc. The power tranny would have a much easier time of it too.

Just my thoughts
