Hagtech, why not??? VR's are sensitive to parallel cap, as they have intrinsic esl (few mH). choke will increase the ac regulation.Of course it must have enough DCR (or R in series) to give the static voltage drop (giving e.g. some trace of line regu...

Maybe if you didn't try to pull the caps down so fast.  Why the hurry?  Maybe a 500 ohm or 5k ohm resistor would be a more kind bleeder.  I think the peak current spike is not such a good thing for the capacitor.  You are also at ...

The preamp has the classic tube regulated power supply using 5R4, 6AS7, 6SJ7. It is transformer coupled output and has no capacitor in the signal chain, the gain is about 8db, so it is not a buffer. For convenience, it does has a remote control. It i...

KOTriode. One of the reasons why I advance the idea of using 6C33C for sub 100Hz bass is because it is very easy to say objectively if it is enough power. You see, when you use 845 for instance the tube might jumps in and out if A2. Since it is D...
