RE: Is The Last Cap In The PSU Still Important...

If you reference the Walt Jung article you can see that the impedance begins to fall off at 1kHz or so at 6dB/octave. To put this in perspective, W. Jung measured the rejection of the cascode DN2540 CCS at 1kHz to be -150dB. This represents an impedance of about 32M ohms. At 130kHz this drops to about -115dB. The impedance is now about 560k ohms, a fifty fold difference. Why be concerned about this out of audio band crap? Because devise nonlinearities can inter-modulate this crap with the audio signal. That's why I believe it's best to not generate this crud in the PS in the first place.
