Home Tube DIY Asylum

Do It Yourself (DIY) paradise for tube and SET project builders.

Perhaps..........

24.90.87.8

some AC on the B+ sounds better as AC does on a 2A3 filament vs DC. Same for SS amplifier power sections that have 5% AC content and only one capacitor for the filter. I have no scientific offer to prove why a 2A3 sounds better than DC.

The problem with the PS design using Lcrit chokes as shown above is it is not the best design. Also, the recovery time includes the voltage overshoot.

A LCLC using 4HY-30uF-4HY-80uF with chokes having 60 ohm DCR does not overshoot & has faster recovery time with a 120ma current draw at idle (no signal) and using much higher current step load calculation than the small 9ma shown above. Transformer has 9 ohm secondary to a bridge rectifier. Simulate the 4HY-30uF-4HY-80uF.
