RE: Generally, "lower" is better

Posted by Tre' on June 11, 2022 at 17:45:21:
"Filters with a lower resistance do sound subjectively better due to better regulation. Even Class A has variation in current demand."

Do you mean impedance? Class A has variations but most of them are periodic. The output impedance of a power supply filter is dependent on the capacitance value of the last cap. Think of the last cap of the filter as a "by-pass cap". As long as the impedance of the circuit is bypassed to the lowest frequency of interest then the power supply should not be a factor.
