Re: power supply question

Dear Chris,

10,000 or maybe 12,000 is probably OK but 22,000 is too much. I have
been interested in this problem for a long time. Larger capacitors put
additional stress on several components--most seriously on the
transformer--which is, after all, the most expensive component in the
power supply. The exact technical reasons are very interesting to me
but this is not the place to discuss them.

Sincerely,
Barry
