[QUOTE="Fishchris, post: 8747211, member: 683065"] Okay, now we are talking :) Well, its hard to find good info on the "capacitance" of quality amps vs. cheap ones. One would expect this to be better with high quality amps... and I think it is, but only to a small degree. And it probably has less to do with cost, than it does space. Imagine trying to physically fit a 500 farad super cacitor inside of a car audio amplifier ? Their is a reason my 500 farad super cap is the size of a small automotive battery. I've read a bunch of things that say increasing the speed of power delivery is a good thing, that makes audible differences.... But it's not like I saved a link to every one of those citings (as if I were writing a scientific journal :) Instead, after like the 79th positive thing I read, I decided to try it for myself.... And yes. It really does make a difference with kick drums and any kind of fast, snappy bass hits. (dynamic headroom).

But SMD has a 30Kwt system "and he only makes" like 1500 amps continuously, so in his system, like most big systems, he has no choice but to store a bunch of juice.
