Based on the success of using Switch Mode Power Supply (SMPS) modules in my Subminature Tube PC Speaker Amplifier Project, I decided to attempt to take the concept to a higher level.
 
Could small inexpensive Chinese SMPS modules replace the heavy Power Transformer, Rectifiers, Filter Capacitors, and Power Resistors typical of Vintage Tube HiFi equipment?
 
If so, I should be able to realize numerous advantages over a classic 60Hz/Linear power supply.
 

• Reduced Weight and Size (as mentioned)
  
• Flexible Component Location to further reduce size, and improve aesthetics.
  
• Wide input voltage and frequency range. Operation from 100-240VAC, 50/60Hz without switching.
  
• Output regulation for all needed voltages for better sound and longer tube life.
  
• Ease of adjusting tube bias.
  

 
While it took experimentation with numerous power supply modules, and I ended up building part of the Plate supply from scratch, the project finally resulted in an excellent sounding amplifier that maximizes efficiency and power for the selected tubes.
