I'm Bored, part ll. MA-1 pictures

These capacitors are the power supply caps (please correct me if I'm wrong). If we look at the left side of the caps, we see each set of 2 going in certain directions. My question is this; if I remove a set (200uF), and replace it with a single 150uF, what other changes need to be made?. Do I need to add a 47uF to make it closer to 200?. Can I go to 300uF with no changes?.







Lew. This second picture is of the huge 27,000uF caps at the back of the amps. These caps -ve are attached to the speakers binding posts. Because these drive the speakers, I wanted to see if better coupling caps (ripple current caps) improved the sound. For me they did.
