Yes that figures.
SC on a 102 is a complete waste of money. What you're actually getting is a supersized dual railed snaps since both of the regs you're actually using come from a single traffo winding and one cap. HC is theoretically better since you get one winding and one cap per rail.
When I had SBLs I found the SC was only a very marginal upgrade over a Kendeiled HC on the Snaxo. It was however, a downgrade over the two Kendeiled HC's on my 82 which is what I'd actually bought it to replace.
To Tortoisi, were you using dissimilar Hicaps on your 82? My experience showed mixing H&F with Talema types led to very unsatisfactory results, but two Identical Talema ones with kendeil caps was very hard to beat. The APX4 eventually did but not by much and not until after a bit of servicing.
I haven't actually tried the TPR4 HC on the 82 in place of the APX4, I just assumed it wouldn't measure up. I think I will now.
