Could anybody look at this schematic and tell me if it's correctly suitable for 2 diode bridges?
 
Hey, can I use a 0.22 ohm on the emitter instead the recommended value (0.33ohm) ?
I believe 0R22 can be used instead.

I will add snubber RC , LEDs and bypass caps.
My question was about the structure of the power supply. the last is something like the link you posted
Power Supply for Power Amplifiers
a sort of "dual mono" in which every amp will receive +V/-V from a single bridge/supply caps way; so we have the rails and the bridges connected in parallel each other; my previous layout had instead a single bridge and the caps forming +v/0 are 2x10.000 and the same the caps forming 0/-v.

so what's the best?

Those were all the recommendations I gave which you implemented here, why are they removed and then put back in again?

Note, it's also very easy to make these point-to-point in free space, or point to point on perf board. Here is a very compact DX PSU based CRCLC PSU with diode bridge (buried on back end):

Compared to how big a Dx PSU can get when made on a relaxed perf board:

show us the underside - we want to see your soldering skills :D

The ground lug needs more space - can you move that blue box cap to the underside ? better still, drill another hole in the copper ground bus and move the lug sideways a few mm for clearance.
