1000 to 2000 μF is a good range to stay within. You may want to use all nine positions if you're using caps with a low capacitance density, such as Black Gates, Cerafines or Silmics.
i need to look into this power issue more .. damn n00biness

would 35v caps be wasteful or 25V be ok?
I've seen several "24V" supplies that are actually very close to 25V or even over. Partly this is due to component tolerance issues, and partly because the regulation isn't perfect.
On the other hand, D1 will drop the supply voltage by 0.7V or so.
I'd measure it under load to be sure it stays well under 25.7V at all times before using 25V caps.
that makes sense now once i read your power paper.. iv measured my headsave vibe under load and it was anything but stable.. 35V Panasonic FC it is !!!! should i still be looking for keeping it between 1000uF to 2000uF as youve already mentioned?
