SET amps have a large current swing thus is best with low DCR transformer high voltage winding and chokes plus a large electrolytic cap.My PP quad set 6V6 amp is operating Class A, thus has a 5HY to a 40uF to a 5HY to a 25uF oil cap. First choke is 150 ohm DCR & second choke is 40 ohms DCR. It is the best sounding non triode amp I ever heard.
Another option. A shunt regulator in-between the LCLC or LC-shunt-LC also provides great sonics. I like the less than highly efficient shunt type regulator as it does not seem to color sonics. In fact, I believe the shunt regulator provides best quality sonics, but the location in the filter is important.
