Hello.
My account is quite fresh around here.
I've been lurking for about six months, trying to absorb as much as possible from this ever expanding thread, but only registered recently.
-to bother Ohcrapgorillas for details about his Crackhouse, incidentally.
Anyway, I'm hoping someone here might be able to lay some wisdom on me with regards to putting a choke in the Crack PSU.
I've purchased a Hammon 157M choke to replace a resistor in the PSU.
Specs: 8H, 100mA, 259Ohms, 400V.
I've seen it posted that stuffing a choke in lets you replace the last electrolytic capactor in the PSU with a film capacitor with weaker specs and, more importantly, smaller dimensions than a 220uF 250V+ film cap.

this Reddit post had some details but the comment appears to have vanished.
Sooo, given my choice of choke, would it be advisable for me to replace the lytic cap with a 100uF 250V film cap?
-Or should I just put in a choke and bypass the last lytic with a 2.2uF film cap?
Thanks for reading.
Disclosure: I have a similar thread over at
Bottlehead where I initially just asked for alternatives to the Triad C-7X.
