101. [Amps] how much C in PS is too much ? (score: 1)

I am curious. I see some 10,000uf 450volt electrolytic caps for sale on Ebay. 8 of these would give you 3600volt capability at more or less 1250uF total capacitance. Is this too much?. Are there any

Hello All, I feel real inadequate now, knowing I just have normal capacitors in my SB-220. I must have POWER CAPS!!! to do my 'power buffering'....... The other thing, if I put twice as many of these
