Would it be too much extra to design two different PS boards, one for film (with a choke or two) and a standard CRC supply to cover both bases? 

Two power supply boards for an amp that isn't likely to be a big seller is unlikely.  On the other hand, I think Doc, PJ, and I are all desiring to get as many of the electrolytics out as possible.

We also have some other experiments to do that could set this apart from the original SR-45.  That circuit is quite exceptional as-is, but we have to do our due diligence before release to ensure that we haven't "missed" any opportunities.

You can experiment all you want as long as your end design works with my 404s. :)

Not to worry, Xavier, I have already analyzed a different set of resistors to best match a 5K load.  :^)

PJ, if you could factor in an available 2.5v/4% tolerance/1.5 amps supply for the heaters so that we can safely use EML tubes, I would appreciate it!  ;D

Would the Magnequest sex amp upgrade iron be suitable for this project?

I use the sex mq plate chokes with tfa 2004 jr outputs (currently m4/co slice). I cant recommend the current amp enough. I just put in a pair of cobalt grid chokes and im listening to it after and the bass is slamming. I am trying to think if i turned up the sub levels. So yesterday n all day im just amazed at the bass. Im thinking the sub is really sounding great. So 2 days later i noticed i had disconnected the sub from the amps when i worked on them and not reconnected them. Amazing bass now! And i always thought it was amazing bass...

2.5v at 1.5A IS the 45 tube spec, so it will certainly handle that ...

Terran,

Amazing bass?  How sweet the sound?  Sorry, couldn't help myself.

BTW, are those the Orcas you're talking about?

That would be the second time I've heard about people marvelling at the bass and then realizing they didn't have the subs connected/turned on.

Lol nice lyrics!  it was actually the Abbys. Can't afford the orca subs yet. I have been ok with the abbys always wanting a bit more but this mod has transformed the speaker. The orcas are on my desk at work with my pdg and doing very well...

So Clark says you two (PJ, PB) got a chance to listen to his new Feastrex cab design  ;D

I'm now in for two pair, one for headphone use and the other to drive this upcoming speaker.
