C1 is 12uf Sprague VitQ to 6H to 40uf Panasonic DC link to 8H to C3a and C3b (100uf ASC 386) one feeding channel A and the other feeding channel B. The power supply sounds very dynamic this way with excellent percussion. The residual AC is .1 to .2 volts.
With the 5R4 the music seems slightly smoother than with a 5AR4.
I would have preferred choke input but the power trans did not have enough high tension for that.
