Re: Why Tre', you are so emotional !! Unbalanced Whiner, UGH! .

Tre',

As time goes by, things get refined some. L1/C1/L2/C2 is as follows :

Ls are both Traid C-40Xs, available from Allied at only $10.79 each.

Cs are both ASC oils, the ones Mike Percy sells, 40 uF at 440 VAC, about $12.95 each as I recall.

Anyone can just build and LISTEN to that, with THOSE precise parts.

Its what we have listened to now in my latest report, on Greg's 245 SE amp, both for his input and output stages. Heavy gauge wire from the rectifiers forward is a MUST. We eliminated his damper diodes and went with 5U4GBs.

As an fair estimate, assume PT secondary VAC times 1.35 = B+ VDC, minus rectifier drop.

I'll look at Greg's amp notes later, on both supplies, and post actual measured AC and DC voltages and current load, for each supply, when I can. We have that information recorded in our notes taken.
