I really like fliptops, but some of those kits are pretty spendy. I tend to up the value of the filter caps for the screen supply to 100uf (same as the main reservoir cap) if you do that, you can use a 100x100 can a 50x50uf can and then a single axial 100uf cap that needs to be mounted inside. basically exactly where the 40x40uf cap is mounted by the power transformer.
by using those values the amp is happier, and the parts cheaper. you can use all F&T and they are way cheaper than those CE caps. better quality too.
