I know it's been covered in this forum before, but I'm not finding exactly what I'm looking for...
I've got an Eico HF-22 that I am in the process of replacing electrolytic caps in and for which I also purchased a 1.5h 200mA 400v choke to beef things up a little. This is as per the AK thread a while back wherein one of the members lovingly refurbished a pair of these amps and said he was going to add chokes. My question is this: do I keep the first two filter sections (20uf/20uf stock, I've replaced with 32uf/32uf) in parallel and then wire in the choke before the next filter stage, or do I put the choke between the two 32uf/32uf sections. (the first arrangement gives me 64uf, if I don't separate the multicap with the choke, right? Do I want to do that, or do I want to have the choke between the two sections of the multicap?)
