  Use the choke with the lowest DCR. I suspect the Ferranti is highest DCR.

  As for that rectifier tube, 5AR4 are rugged & my first choice or use GT Britain 6CA4.

    urrr... not the one with highest inductance so as to block most ripples?

    aren't those with lower DCR (higher rated amperage) for power amplifier usage?

    thanks for the enlightening

      Both have high inductance. A low DRC is more important than a few Henry inductance at the two listed quite healthy values. To split hairs, if the larger one is within 10% percent higher DCR over the other, then use that one.
