"Smoothing" and low ESR

Tech Square

Technical and speculative discussion of amps, cables and other topics.

Do *low ESR* capacitors reduce ripple in line frequency (50/60 Hz)rectification compared to *standard* caps of identical value?

If not, what is exactly the reason why low ESR capacitors are sometimes recommended for this application?

Thanks in advance for any input.
