[Amps] Transformer Question

[Colin Lamb]

The GSB-201 only uses 20uf.  The capacitors are in series so the capacitance is divided by 5.  The replacement choke is good.  Throw the choke away.  With a capacitor input, you will have 1.4 x the transformer value.  So you will have the same value as the other amplifier.  But, one thing you will need higher tuning capacitor voltage to stand the voltage increase.  

So, you would want a transformer about 1250 volts x 1.414.  That will give you the same voltage as a choke input.  To make up for the choke, you will have to use bigger filter caps.  

Maybe you should read a little more about capacitor input power supplies before buying one.
