The big Aavids look nice though - if you really want those - get them.
Will probably be the best-looking part of my build.

Hi X,
Do you have a part number for the NTC 8D-20 at Mouser? The best match I can find here is only a 3A (max) rated one. I will just have to add this to my Mouser order.
Regards, Kevin
P.S. BTW, is this essential, for the PSU?
P.P.S. Just found a 10R 6A thermistor, that should be fine not so?

Yes, we have lots of interest and I think it is because it is a very general and useful tool to have in one's Class A toolbox. I have implemented the single board dual rail SLB in a typical 25w Class A amp (the M2X) and using a 300VA 32v Antek, am able to get +/-25.4Vdc rails (a tad over 24v nominal spec but that's actually good as you get a bit more headroom. Will take some measurements soon but so far, all is quiet and no sign of hum.

... using a 300VA 32v Antek, am able to get +/-25.4Vdc rails ...
Is that a typo? a 2x32VAC secondary transformer would provide about +/- 42Vdc , and a 2 x 16VAC secondary transformer would provide about +/- 21Vdc. In neither case is it 25 ... ???
Maybe it was a 2 x 22Vac Antek?

GB Status Update.... boards have been ordered and are at silkscreen step, maybe another day and they should be finished before shipping.
Everyone is all paid up - thank you! Just need info from Ermine22 what he wants to do about using credit he has on previous GB.

The boards are just about completed at the board fab house. Probably another 5 days before I get them. Really looking forward to using them in my projects. The Alpha BB is one where I see huge benefits. I currently run two CRCs in series for that amp and the diodes are making lots of heat.
Hi X,
I have a Moth 30 RIAA amplifier I want to rebuild at some point. Would a slightly scaled down version of this project be good enough to power it, viz. with 6800uF or max. 10 000uF caps? It draws a maximum of 1 A @ +24 V & -24 V. The other option of course is to power it with 4 12V SLA batteries.

Sure, 1A at +/-24 is no chump change. That’s almost as much as one channel of a Pass Class A 25w amp which typically draws 1.25A. 48W dissipation in the amp output stage is quite a lot. You could use 6800uF of course but 15000uF caps are not expensive and might as well get 50v ones so the PSU is good for higher voltages on the future.
