Correct- back then. We have evolved and learned things since 2006-08 I hope, all of us. Since about 2018, we regularly use the 6 Ohm Hammond 159ZAs, 1 A. rated chokes. Other than a 75 hour break in, they work and sound fine !! Preferable to Stancor c-2708s.In retrospect, I was mistaken to even mention on A.A. those cheapie Triads in 2006. Sorry. But now you know !!
However, 12 Ohms DCR total - to the output transformer for both Ls -is really a lot of fun to hear !!
Cleartimestream, I also LOVE what GTO caps do to the Finals filtering. About $50.00 each. One GTO 5 uF across ( bypassing ) a 30 uF WIMA 4 Pin C1 and a second 5 uF GTO across ( bypassing ) a 50 uF at 800 VDC 4 Pin WIMA C2.
Also, starting in 2019, I have gone to two 5U4GBs, each as a separate diode, for rectification.
Well, there you have my current favorite topology. YMMV. Contact me if you have any questions.
Jeff
