Huh? the schema I have of his amp (GA #4/1999)uses a 300mA/10H choke - which isn't small/light by anyone's standards, followed by a MOSFETregulator for the B+.Are we talking about the same thing?
My PP-1Ccircuit was always intended to be a very low cost unit to be sold in malaysia as a kit. In it's original form it even used a 25 watt toroidal power transformer as an OPT.
Later versions used good James OPTs and became something rather nice - but when it grew into the PP-2C with a choke input filter - it stepped up several levels of perfomance with no other circuit or parts changes.
QED!
