regarding sett-ability , no issues , no preferred range
in case that you are outa range og Ugs I did cover with values on board , single resistor change would solve that

ZM - For my THF-51S build, I have a 1000VA, 2X 48v secondaries with 18v and 12v secondaries transformer. 6 - 27,000uF capacitors (3 per channel).
Do you recommend motor run capacitor for each channel? If so, what size?

motor-runs are cherry on top
biggest and badder you can squeeze in , connect in parallel with last cap in PSU
practically , don't go under 40uF , more - sky is the limit
is that xformer two separate windings of 48Vac each , or 96Vac center-tapped ?

xformer is two separate windings of 48v each
each channel will have it's own rectifier and CRCRC filter except for the bias circuits
found a pair of cbb60 100uF motor run caps PP film, cheaper then TP on a-zon

bingo
my dear Papa's Koan (first of them, F4) is made in similar fashion - had 800VA Donut with 4 secondaries , 18Vac each
then 4 bridges and separate cap bank for each channel
FW case being too sissy to squeeze in motor runs too ....., but- hey , that could be squeezed only in 500mm deep

edit : so , 800VA Donut , sum heat being around 150W , and singing all day long with peaks at (2x) 1W5/16R , in my workshop
but , I've put LED toobz , instead of neon ones

When you mentioned that the Singing Bush had a bias circuit requiring a lower voltage, I found an.ANTEK 1000VA xformer with dual 48v along with 18v and 12v secondaries, I went with it instead of having to find room for multiple xformers.
I'd rather have room for capacitors instead of xformers.
Thanks for listing spec's for PS, I was hoping you'd list your recommendations.

Hi
I want know if is possible use linear amplifier as replacement transformer input JENSEN .

Could you post a rough power supply diagram with labels? I know it's a work in progress.
asking elwood , or me?

not possible without major changes in circuit - input xformer is necessary part of Schade feedback loop , doing several things at once ( all explained in Papalecture , linked in first post) - galvanic isolation , Schade feedback , increase of input impedance
if you can find decent 600:600 xformer locally , try it
decent means - declared HiFi use ( 20-20KHz) , not Telephone range

I’m hoping with 68v I can use a cap multiplier if there is to much noise for my horns.
I would use the same cap multi as in a zen 9.
I will wait and see.

Well, I guess I have some time for the project.
Here is the first power supply.
Nice, with LT4320 ideal bridges 🙂
