I have been reading and studying, drawing and redrawing. I haven't heard anything either way, bad or good about my proposed layout. I think the biggest things are to eliminate hum, feedback and static, which I have tried to do by separation, grounding, etc. So Let the construction begin!
I have the bridge installed, and power transformer wiring in place. I am changing the value and size of a few caps due to space, or lack of. I am going to use 250v poly caps, since they are smaller. Should be plenty of breathing voltage wise, and slightly smaller output filter caps. I will use the specified 47 uf input cap, and going to try 22uf output caps. Figure they should be adequate since this is a full wave PS. I am debating on my line caps - schematic calls for .01, which I have, and are rather large. They would fit, but ... again, big. I may try .001 and see what I get. I don't know how much difference the size of that cap would make in filtering noise, RF, etc.
