choke coil application

Hi
I want to add a choke to the lamp amp power supply in the diagram. Where exactly should I add it?

Or to between the first C2 and the other three. Perhaps need to check with PSUD2 (once the PT and choke and operating parameters are measured) to see if there is a better damped outcome. Measuring the parameters and doing a PSUD2 sim is also a sanity check that you are going to use a suitable choke, but what is suitable (and using PSUD2) may require some experience, and not a simple guess.

If the layout of transformer and bridge and first C2 are tight then I'd suggest removing all C1 caps, given UF400x are being used.
