RE: Peak current

"Nobody has any idea what that minimum time constant is for an RC filter to produce the same audible result as a regulator."

It's not possible to answer this with a single number. The necessary minimum time constant varies as a function of the load on the supply. The lower the load Z becomes in terms of its AC component, the shorter the time constant of the supply must be.

Personally, I think the sonic effectiveness of supply voltage can be easily observed and measured. If the amplifier at full output can't wiggle the supply to any significant extent, that aspect of the system is good.
