Wow guys a lot has been posted since I last logged on Friday. I'll have to read and inwardly digest it all.
Andrew,
thanks for posting the veroboard layouts that will make life much easier for me. I am presently searching through the RAPID catalogue for all the components so I can add them to my spreadsheet and get an order placed. I am also intending to include all schematics and your veroborad layout in the spreadsheet.
Nick, you memtioned the 7H maplin chokes would be on their limit. There are other chokes on the Livinginthepast web site. Are any of these more suitable?

Wouldn't have it any other way Andrew . I'm really grateful that you're interested enough to put so many hours in to this for myself and others' benefit. This is the spirit of DIY I think, and is why this is a good place to hang out.Andrew wrote:For my part, I have to say there is absolutely no reason Simon or Colin has to follow what I suggest, I don't fell ownership of this, merely offering to help with their projects and perhaps learn a little along the way.
It's your build Colin, Simon....you must decide what you like.....
cheers,

Don't let that stop you, some new, or not so new, as the case may be, lines of thought would sure be welcome around here.izzy wizzy wrote:
I am new round here so at present, I only feel comfortable telling people some areas they might want to think about. If they want to ask me why in return, then I'm happy to say so. The whole topic of power supplies is a huge one IMHO and it's possible to go on and on about something and it not being what someone wants to hear. I suppose I was dropping hints and not wanting to derail an existing design or devalue anyones else's suggestions.

Not everyone thinks the same and unfortunately those that don't follow the masses tend to take a back seat.
Speak up....!

OK. Checking out the Livinginthepast web site I'll use the VT1131 chokes. These are similar to the standard VT495 but 200ma.Hang on, you are going to be pulling 100ma B+, those maplin chokes are going to be on the edge at that.
Regards

Hi Colin,
I found the cause of some hum I was getting that had originally led me to believe the output cap on the reg was too small (C1) above, despite the fact I could see no hum at all on the scope....anyway it wasn't the reg boards, it was a msall amount of ripple on the DC regulator for the heaters getting coupled into the cascode. I raised the heaters on the cascode and viola its gone, so 470nF which I listening to now sounds really fine
cheers,
