I chanced upon an interesting PSU arrangement for my 5842. I run a valve regulated powersupply at 210v and then drop down to 160v with an un-bypassed 8uf oilcap. Any more capacitance or bypasses seemed to be a step backwards in terms of pleasure. A nice side-effect of the regulator is much more consistency of sound from day to day. (I run my 5842 with a 2v lead acid cell in place of a cathode resistor)

I’m kind of debating how I will organize the PS. I am considering going for LCRLC with a lot of inductance and small capacitance to make the tube stage to “see” Bessel curve in PS…  Nevertheless, I do not know at this point… The LCRLC chain will be driving 4 RC parallel filers for each channel. (To keep the shot pass to ground for each stage). I do not know for now how it all will be organized from sonic perspective… In fact, considering my demands for compact size and the dimensions of the parts it become quite complex to built everything inside the Macondo’s frame.
