Do caps stay "fully formed" even under minimal load? (SS)


Theoretical question. If my ss amp can easily handle 120wpc into 8 ohms, but most of the time I'm only using less than 1 watt, will the "unused headroom" (if there is any?) of the power supply caps degrade? Suppose one day I get very hard to drive speakers and all of a sudden I'm pushing 15+ watts. Will the caps be "out of shape"?

Nope. Caps are the ultimate couch potatoes: less exercise, better performance! Tubes are even better. Tubes can just lay around for years, people actually pay more, they are so well rested you can't believe!
