Does this voltage doubler work any "better" (better regulation, better
transformer utilization, etc) than the classic 2-diode, 2-capacitor
doubler (as seen in e.g. the HP-23 supplies)? I know it uses more
parts; what I'm wondering is whether the extra parts actually provide
any benefits, and if so, under what circumstances.

Does anybody have any actual experience with this circuit?

If, as the author claims, it yeilds 120hz ripple, it will need
smaller filter caps than a regular doubler and provide less ripple
(lower hum). Diodes are cheap, caps are not (at least not HV high
capacitance ones!) though.
