Too much capacitance?

[HaLo6]

So is a 16VCT the equivalent of having two 8VAC secondaries? (which is approximately what I'd need for 5VDC)

Yes.

Definitely go for a 9V AC transformer.
Check the Parts List section and you'll see it listed there (near the bottom of the page).
If you plan to make a Sigma22 as well for the +-15Vs then you'll need an 18V AC transformer.

Also don't forget to let us know how it sounds compared to stock supplies.

Yeah, I got a 36VCT too for the analog section Sigma22 so I'll get the 18VCT for the digital section, should be ready to test next week! I think I am going to have to get a bogger case though the sigmas are huge... Thanks for everyone's help I love this site and the peeps on here!

Are there other manufacturers than Hammond that are readily available?
