I am reading a lot of what others have to say about improving power supplies and I am confused about what further can be done to a power supply except a different power tranny with much higher current output. More capacitance alone will give more filtering but at some point the time constants will be affected.
Ben Jacoby who is a service tech for Audio Note here in New York told me about T/C's many years ago when I used to give him Dynaco stuff to repair and he saw all the capacitance I used to put into those amps. He told me not to add that much as it affected the sonics of the amp after a certain point. Most of the time not good. Using lots of UF will increase bass which can compromise the rest of the bandwidth. He also said the weak link in any Dynaco power supply was the power tranny.
What else do you do in the power supply for the newer L4's that you now sell?
