thanks, Michael, I was looking at something similar here:

been a little resistant to go over the input cap rating, particularly when I read that you indicated that film caps have better filtering characteristics than 'lytics. In this case, the max input cap for a 6X4 is 10 ufd, in your experience the 15 ufd will work without causing any flashover from the rectifier? thanks!
