Seems like most of the cost of amplifiers is in power supplies. So i'd like to roll my own superheavy duty transformer and caps....
Caps would be a nice big acrylic box, with thin layers of metal and some sort of dielectric. I was thinking maybe just thin cloth, with a dielectric oil. Lowest K value i can get away with/ Not sure what i'd use for the plates, thin is good, but cant be too fragile.
Safety is obviously an issue. Maybe some kind of metal reinforcement cage, and circuitry to detect breakdowns and provide an easier and safer route for discharge....
Now, where can i get a transformer core? I was thinking perhaps torodial.
