I'm not sure I will ever complete my LM3886 amp kit because my case is too small or my transformer is too big.
I also have a Brian GT LM3785 kit.
I can run the LM3875 or LM3886 off of a Meanwell power supply I have.
But then it won't be "audiophile", no?
So maybe I won't need the rectifier and 50v caps.
Should I use these 50v caps to replace the 63v caps?
The 50v caps seem to be about double the volume of the 63v caps.
Or any one want to sell me some 10,000 uF 63v caps?

Do NOT attempt to swap a 63V cap for a 50V one......... Ever.
Sorry for being in Denmark, but if you´ll agree to pay $10 + the shipping costs, I can send you 2 x 10.000µF/63V.
If so, just PM me 😉

Seeing as the Meanwell's a regulated supply it might well sound better. But you do have to watch the common-mode noise - use a balanced input to the LM3886 to mitigate its effects. Or transformer isolate the input.
Learned a little about caps.
Nicest case I've seen:
AMPower from Australia:

Which caps are "best" for the application?:

Or any one have any they want to sell?

Jimmy, looks like you did some homework.
Any of those will probably work.
