hey, finally got hold of a (crappy) kodak dc3400 digicam.. the amp is an sc480 kitamp from jaycar in vic.. specs are 0.03%THD @ 50w/8r
psu consists of 150va, 9400uF capacitance per amp, so 20,000uF and 300va in total.. sounds very nice but a bit weak in the low end :)

Doubt its due to the capacitors, the roll off chart is only about -2dB @ 10hz :)
and my mistake - its actually 9400uF per rail(10,000uF when taking the pcb mounted parallel cap) so 40,000uF all up. the low frequencies are extremely clear, best i've heard from an amp yet but a bit too quiet. when i get the time i'll clean up the wiring and use some shielded inputs to the amp, to get rid of the slight high frequency interference im getting, maybe put a grounded shield around the transformers to isolate them too? :)
and, as a great source for mains cables i took the powersupply cable from an old AT computer case, it has an earth shield all through the inside(foil and braided wire), even had an earth lug on the end!
