Remember, some of the chokes and large caps can mount to the wood frame…John

OK-- last go 'round, I hope.

I'm trying to leverage aesthetics with a desire for a short signal / wiring path, so I did as suggested with the cap-n-rectifier swap, but I couldn't quite realize the center-of-the-amp presentation for the OPT and 300b.

Anyway, I think this marries a reasonably good look with an allowance for a short wiring path. As long as everthing looks hunky dory with the transformer orientation, I think this will work.

Have a look:

Now a long view of the guts. In this one, it's easy to see the transformers mounted on the wood frame as you suggested, John.

So, a representation of my DIYAudio conscience told me that I'd better stick with the common-mode choke. Any ideas on where a cheaper 20H (or thereabouts) CMC could be found?
