SSLV1.1 builds & fairy tales

I ended with 2 LM4040DIZ + 3 LM329DZ + 8 red LEDs + 2K6 trimmer for 45Vout🙂

Merlin how did it work out? Sounds nice? I gave a look to the references you used, and while it sounds intersting, I cannot really justify the trouble.
How come you did not use just a low noise zener like a 1N4125 for example? From the datasheets, the noise seems more or less the same per component (35-40uV/sqrt(hz)), but with the zener you have only one, and not 13 components contributing to noise.
Plus with the bigish 2K6 VR the low impedance benefit goes out the window (you need some nice R anyway as Nick said to help with filtering)
I read many posts back. Am I missing something?
