Hi everybody,
I'm about to start my very first tube amp using a s.e. EL34. I'll use a four-diode rectifier for the HV (about 400V), now I wonder: what is the correct capacitance value for the smoothing capacitors before and after a 20H inductor ? In some diagrams I've seen combinations of up to 1000uF/450V(electrolitics) while in other just 25uF MKP capacitors. What is your opinion ?
Thanks in advance for your replies,
