RE: PSU Follies (Very, very long!)

The cap value and ESR at 120Hz are fairly critical to the design. Significant changes in the ESR can radically change the behavior of the supply. Going with a different cap model is fine as long as the ESR is within 50% or so of the specified cap. Getting out of that range is going to cause strange things to happen.

The Triads are not sacred. Other transformers with similar ratings will work as well. I like them because they are inexpensive and well built with a wide range of values and ratings. I can pretty much asume I can find a triad that will work for just about anything I want to do.
