REPLY:

>From a good engineering point of view, you should use just enough
capacitance so that adding more makes no audible difference at the
receiving end. This is a subjective judgment of course, but for a
typical 3 kV, 850 mA supply, that is about 50 uF. Some commercial maps
(Command) use as little as 35 uF so the value is not really critical,
obviously. But I wouldn't stray too far from those values.
