Lazy Singing Bush

I am using two bridges per channel. Thought I read through the relevant posts, please point me to where if I am off base.

I re-read our IM thread at the time of order, outlined the approach.

Meanwhile, here are the aforementioned film caps

Monoblocks, two of the new Gianluca DIY chassis. Per channel: AU-5450 500VA transformer, two Vishay bridge rectifiers one per secondary into your PS board with four 12 mF 80V caps. Two Hammond 159ZJ 10mH chokes, POS from PS PCB to SIT drain screw, NEG from PS PCB to Mu MOSFET drain screw.

Thanks in advance for your sketch!

first thing first

I would choose Case 2

Note proper phasing of secs for Case 2; for Case 1 phasing is irrelevant

Edit: when having single rail output, no benefits of bridge-per-secondary arrangement; loading of two secondaries is always identical, whatever bridge arrangement is

Lifted the NTC PCB with 12mm standoffs. Applied DMT between house and IEC inlet. Passed test. PS shows 71V unloaded. Thanks ZM!

Those Tull clips from Isle of Wight 1970 are phenomenal. Anderson's voice is super strong, and the original drummer incredible. Visited there last summer and our host shared a neighbor's hand typed and illustrated account from that event written by a resident. The concert promoters were quite unprepared for the onslaught of music fans, inadequate water, food, sanitation par for the course at that time. Our host drove us through the field where the original show happened.
