One other thing about 'higher ripple' - taken to an extreme (ie too high a
value of ripple) it can cause premature capacitor failure.

|What you give up with lower values of capacitor is a higher ripple.

|parallel you can double the MFD rating (and lower the ripple).
|Smaller (1000 to 3000MFD) caps across the DC at the input of the raw
