I'm with Scott on this one. There are some old amps that would produce 200+ wpc @ 8 ohms with less than 10,000 uF's of capacitance in them. As such, 50,000 uF's is more than enough for any preamp.
Keep in mind that if you turn this preamp off and on as you use it, those caps have to "fill" or "charge". This is a LOT of "in-rush current" for the power supply components to deal with, so adding more could actually increase the wear and tear on the equipment. If you leave this unit turned on all of the time, it is not a big deal other than for the initial turn on and the occasional power down / up when doing maintenance. Sean
