Default Re: WD/WAD PSU PHONO II Choke upgrade

Good to see the Hammond choke upgrade is liked
Here is how it happened

It was just a pure chance I fitted it when I was upgrading the PSU II to feed the CF Pre
So had I not fitted the wrong Zener Diode which gave me 100 volts instead of the required 200volts this lead me too recheck the HT across the WAD Choke and checking the DCR so all was fine with the choke
So fitted the correct Zener this time and all was good 210volts to CF Pre
I then checked the phono HT, which has always been a bit high so knowing the DCR of the WAD Choke the light came on, wait a minute I have a Hammond 157G Choke, which has a higher DCR so fitted it in place of the WAD choke phono HT drops a little
Well you know the outcome of this upgrade
