Power supply caps


OK, I'm not trying to start an all amps sound alike type thing, but I would like to know if anyone has actually heard this. Not theory or speculation, but actually replaced caps on their equipment.

Will upgrading/replacing old caps in a phono pre-amp's separate power supply have any effect on sound? I'm getting ready to recap my 20+ year old phono pre and wonder if the caps in the power supply should be run of the mill or high quality? If they make a difference, then fine, but if the PS caps won't have an effect on sound, I don't want to waste the money.

Thanks for the help.

Digikey or Mouser are the places to go for PS Electrolytics, not the boutique stores. Get Panasonic THA or TSHA, they're very good, 105C rated, and not expensive. That's what I use in my builds.
