Upping downstream capacitance in PS..

Vintage Asylum

Classic gear from yesteryear; vintage audio standing the test of time.

what is the general consensus on upping the value of capacitance after the rectifier tube 1st cap (say going from 20 or 40 ufd to 100 or another value)? Also upping the PS capacitance in a voltage divider, both after the diodes and further downstream? I have heard in the past that this is a good thing, while lately I have been hearing that it really doesn't matter much at all. Something to think about as I use F&T cans and going from 32+32 to 100+100 is about double the price, so wondering if it is worth it, thanks
