Hello

greeting from jakarta, indonesia.. its rare for me to go get real bottlehead crack, so when someone sell it here, i grab it fast...

my next upgrade should be change it to film resistor, got a pair of mundorf 250v 100uf... got it around usd61 for pair... hope it will improve it more

now i am wondering about the triad choke.. cause i dunno the spec of the choke... here i got a reseller that selling the choke.. which one fit for bottlehead crack ?

I used a Triad C-7X  10 h with nice results. I placed it between terminals 13 L and 15 L. The final 270 ohm resistor in the power supply.

Those chokes are functionally not all that different.  I'd go for the one that weighs less, as I bet it would be easier to fit.
