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

Great Advice, Don !

I can also attest to no rectifier failures with sensible increases of capacitance at the first cap filtering point. Moreover, the grade of power supply caps and diodes available has steadily increased over the years; especially within the last two decades.


From a vintage collector perspective, more capacitance downstream always benefits bass control and impact, increasing dynamic range; even lending a smoother sound. Splitting the HV power supply storage capacitance rails, with separate storage "banks" for each channel, also has many benefits, approaching the sonic potential of dual mono power supplies...
