Hello everyone,
I'm building a tube amp based on the 6N2-6P1-6E2 design from a chinese-made pcb.
I want to add an in-line choke in the power regulation section, right after the two AC rectifying diodes. However, I noticed in most other designs, there is always an electrolytic cap (~100 uF, 450 V) before the choke, and there is usually another cap right after.
Is there an absolute need to have the first cap before the choke?
Thank you!
Bruno
