What is better? A large electrolytic capacitors (e.g. 1x 22,000uF/100V) or several small ones in parallel (e.g. 10x 2200uF/100V)? What is your opinion?
Some argue that at the output it is necessary to connect in parallel capacitors of different capacities in parallel with a decrease in the capacitance of the stage 10 times.
I fail to understand the purpose of this thread. If it is about capacitors, it should be in a different forum section. If it is about a DIY-Amplifier tutorial, what do large value electrolytic capacitors have to do with it, that's a power supply topic then.
You have to compare the exact parts, there is no general answer. One low ESR part could be better
than several high ESR parts in parallel, for example. With multiple parallel parts, layout can be critical
to preserve current sharing at high frequencies due to parasitic inductances.
