Hello!
Me and friends are considering to build an Aikido 6SN7 linestage with tube regulated power supply and tube rectification as well.
2 x 5R4 -> LC choke -> electronic choke (330mf cap onboard right at the input) -> Janus -> Series tube regulator (6080, 6SL7 and OB2).
1) If the Tentlabs e-choke is using, is Janus being necessary?
2) What tube will you suggest for Janus if you agree the diagram of above?
thx!

I remember using this type of neon valve to stablise a 105Volt supply. Heat ... didn't need any heating on in the room!!
Hopefully you will set it up as if it were a Zener Diode and split the strike voltage to get the required result and not just shunt the HT.
330uF is too high for a valve rectifier, you will strip the cathodes.

If the HT is stablised, there is no point in using such a large tank capacitor. 47uF should be adequate.
Well, the Tentlabs module include 330mf for C in and require another 330mf after that:

No.
mfd=microfarads (old abbreviation)
mF=millifarads (official SI)
uF=microfarads (popular ASCI version of official SI)
mf is ambiguous, because it could be a contraction of mfd or a broken shift key version of mF.
