Official M2 schematic

I have 10 cans 22mF each coming for the PSU.
How shall I combine them for the filters of the two rails?
rectifier-CCRCCC-amp
rectifier-CCCRCC-amp
or even
rectifier-CRCCCC-amp
rectifier-CCCCRC-amp?

Try to simulate whit psu tool! I would use 5x22mF-R-5x22mF.
But if you have only 5 per rail then 2x22mF-R-3x22mF!

I also have 22mF in my psu. I choose 1x22mF - L - 3x22mF!

When I tried LTSpice and simply configured a CRC filter adding capacitance after the resistor had more impact on attenuation at 50Hz than in front.

PSU Designer II from Duncan's Amp Pages actually gives a different picture (Vpp)
2C-R-3C 50mV
3C-R-2C 40mV
1C-R-4C 90mV
4C-R-1C 46mV

Right!
See, this is why I come here.

Results are quite different:
2C-R-3C: 40,4 mV
3C-R-2C: 40,5 mV
1C-R-4C: 51,6 mV
4C-R-1C: 52,4 mV

Seems there's mileage in symmetry.

Altec 15095A

Hi. I have a couple of these lying around and was wondering if they could be used in the front end of the M2. I've attached a couple of pictures of the Altecs hoping for suggestions on proper hook-up. I've already put together a pcb in diptrace that I posted if anyone would like to look through it to see if it makes sense. Thanks.
