From what I can tell higher capacitance = less ripple. The drawback would be higher cost. I understand that higher capacitance high voltage caps were a lot more expensive bak then. Is there a benefit in those older amp circuits (like fender amps) to using 22uF caps instead of higher values? Does it do something to tone to have a little more ripple?
When designing tube circuits these days is there any benefit to sticking with the lower capacitance?
