This seems like a cool project. I'm tired of pc boards and am looking forward to my first from-scratch p2p project. I'm going to use the Hammond transformer (Hammond 270cax) to power two channels. It has 70ma of current for the plate voltage.
In another thread, people were talking about using a separate power supply for each channel's plates (shared transformer, separate rectifiers, caps, etc.) Is this necessary or significantly better sounding? I don't wanna skimp.
I'm also wondering about output transformers (I'm going to use the Beyer that NYD used for i/p (thanks kubarth!)). Do people feel there would be a significant improvement by using something pricier than the Edcors for o/p?
Also wondering about cabling/connectors for power, since I plan to do an external PS. I like the idea of a separate box for noise reasons and also like that I can detach the PS and worry less about getting zapped when I'm working on it!
Thanks for the project, Dave!
