PS Cap to V- larger than the Cap to V+

I was looking at the PSRR of LM3875 and I thought that it would make a perfect sense to use 2 ore 3 1000uF caps in parallel to the V- and only one 1000uF cap for V+ of the PS. This way I'd get better LF and HF filtering and thus compensate for the PSRR differences. Should have a positive effect (at least in theory).

Has anyone tried that?

Carlos,

No, I didn't think about that. Very good point. Though, if it really makes things better and it's worth the trouble you may have a relay that disconnects the speakers as soon as you power-off the amp.

Considering the above problem, it makes more sense to just increase both V- and V+ caps at the same time.
