Hi,
I'm building an LM3886 amp and for the power supply section, I need 2 10,000uF caps @ 63V. Snap in configuration is preferred.
For the main bulk capacitors on an amp's power supply, would it make any noticeable difference if I used cheaper $7 Nippon-Chemi-Con KMH capacitors vs using. $18 Nichicon KG "Audio grade" capacitors. In the signal path, and throughout the rest of the amp, I plan on using "audio grade" capacitors, but for the power supply, how much sonic difference would it make if I used general purpose caps?
Would I be defeating the whole point of using audio grade capacitors throughout the amp if I used standard grade caps on the power supply? Or not?
Thanks.
