I'm still an amature at this and I can't figure out PSUD-2, so I'm wondering if this is an optimal PS for my amp. I do understand that you are basically listening to your power supply. I was taught this around eight years ago on this forum, so I see it is absolutely necessary to have a good foundation to build upon.
I've been messing around with rebuilding vintage amps for a few years and I would like to finally try something new. This will be my first amp build and I don't like wasting money if it is not the most efficient, fastest, and best sounding PS I can build (on a budget) without any PS buzz or hum. I have very sensitive ears and love to hear the details, but can't stand any harshness. The recommended PT is a Triode Electronics PA060. The B+ & B+1 are both 330 VDC. I won't be using any lytics. They'll be either polys and/or oilers.
I've included the PS schematic. I don't doubt that the design sounds good, but I'd like for my first to be exceptional. This may be as good as it gets.....I don't know. Help a first-timer be a success at his first build. Thanks!
