Insurance Co's and who is at fault.

It is one thing to experiment with things that are not retail consumer legal in your own home. You then bear the burden if the insurance company denies your claim when the house burns down, or someone is electrocuted and the family sues.

But putting that kind of experimental info out there as a tweak that "everyone should try" is a different matter. At the least, there should be a disclaimer that this may not be universally safe, etc.

In many cases you can "get by" with questionable practices, including putting gobs of uF across the AC line, etc. But then, there are always those odd circumstances or out of the ordinary situations where even all the safety practices are barely enough.

BTW, with 500,000uf on each rail of your SS amps PS, it is a wonder you did not burn out the diode bridge with the incoming current surge as the caps charged up, and charged, and charged .....
You were lucky or the bridge was way over-rated for it's nominal use.
