RE: Where does the current come from?

"Anecdotal claims about a "greater musicality" from a lower-valued output capacitor are rather too vague as they stand."

I have suspected for many years that this phenomenon is the result of a too-small final capacitor that encourages the power amp to produce additional intermod on low frequency peaks - perhaps mixing with 120 Hz ripple - the result of which is perceived as a heartier and more detailed presentation.
