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.

Ebay is where I got mine, I just needed replacements though. Hard to find somewhere to buy a few, they wanna sell you 1000 pcs.
Not all caps are equal in size either so do your homework and make sure they will fit.
