a sufficiently-large last capacitor with using in input choke make the sound or transformer, rectifier and choke less relevant


I have to agree with Dima.  The power supply has to be harmonious with the amplifier yet separate at the same time.  With one amplifier, I cheated and put 1/2 the capacitance needed (per my calculations) for a final cap, and under light loading the amplifier actually ended up with a 2dB boost at 20Hz.  The power supply LC was reacting with the amplifier. 

Seems to me a small film cap added to a large electrolytic solves most of the sonic issues people complain about re the large caps.
