RE: Cleaning up boost/buck heater drivers

LC filtering can help, but frequencies that high usually migrate around the chassis. This type of noise can also conduct back into the AC line and into other areas from there. Don't know if it will help, but my SETs use a square wave switcher that heats the DHT filaments with an 80kHz square wave. I don't hear any odd effects, and distortion measurements don't indicate anything untoward happening in the audio band. I think a small amount of residual noise from a buck/boost isn't likely to create any issues.
