RE: Rec for power capacitors replacement

What is the 60hz Itsm on that bridge?

If it isn't at least 400A you will need an inrush limiter.

The bigger caps won't sound that much better, the rectifier might make it a bit cleaner. Can't tell you if it's worth it or not.

The 10µF bypass on the cards (that I suggest replacing with 22µ/160V) have more affect on the sound than the main filter caps do, unless you're running at full output. I've never gone above 22,000µF.
