A blog about the journey of a DIY Audio enthusiast who doesn't care too much of the 'esoteric' ultra-priced commercial hifi equipment. I may be wrong, some or most of the time, but hey, it's my journey and I welcome you to share with me on that journey. Currently interested in headphones, open baffle speakers, full range drivers, tube amps and Pass Lab Class A designs.

Oarta PSU
One interesting point is that if the PSU is cap loaded with a 10uF, at 200mA, it will give around 380V. But if I remove the cap, and have it choke loaded (using the LL1673), at at loads of around 100mA to 150mA, it will give voltages of 260-280V. Perfect for 2A3 and 45. So in this case, if I can provide switchable PSU filter, I can further extend the range of usable tubes, rather than using resistors to drop voltages.
