**Nonsense. Whilst an external power supply *may* have some advantages, 
transferring large amounts of DC is a dumb thing to do. Using AC is far
more 
sensible. Capacitors need to be placed close to output devices, not many
cm away"

 That defeats the purpose of having the PS outboard. You want the AC OFF
the signal chassis! 

 You want the primary filter caps on the PS chassis and some more on the
signal chassis, with a choke before them that sees only the ripple for AC.


 Octal or 11-octal works fine for DC under 1 KV or so as proven by tens of
thousands of Collins, Drake, Heathkit and Yaesu ham transceivers as well
as
vintage stereo.
