peter	Re: positioning of choke in layout Yes, so that the mains transformer doesn't generate a field in the choke. But more importantly, the choke needs to be used within its designed current limit. (which will be easy if you are only using it to filter the screen and preamp currents, as in the usual setup). BTW, I don't claim to be an expert in this area!! Setting the choke orthogonal can't hurt, but I don't know how much difference it will make either.

Yes, so that the mains transformer doesn't
generate a field in the choke.
But more importantly, the choke needs to
be used within its designed current limit.
