Totally agree...

Maybe if I wrote smaller posts, people would read all of them...

Rick, back when we were sparring about chokes in early August, I wrote this post:

Where I said:

"But ultimately I plan to go to current-sourced shunt regulators. I have heard from one of my 'tweak mentors' that cascading series regulators does not sound good (in his humble opinion), so except in one position, I haven't done that. But CCS-sourced shunt regulators, such as the Burson, the Tent, the OPA, the Borberly, and the DIYAudio Salas (and other) ones are ok. This link I posted in an earlier conversation:

http://www.diyaudio.com/forums/power-supplies/168631-5v-high-current-low-noise-regulator.html

Is for a variant on the Salas design for high currents and what I intend to try after the LT3080 for the ATX-20 5v & P4 12v regulators. I expect the only thing that will be better are Paul Hynes' regs, which may be next after that."

Not trying to be snooty, but I've been trying to point this out for some time now... that wasn't even the first time I linked it.

I think it will be a VERY good option!

Greg in Mississippi (maybe my shortest post EVER!)

P.S. It's worth a question to Salas, but I suspect the diode pair/2SK170 bias string/reference will hold it to 5v pretty well.
Everything matters!
