Cap Value

"the logical end to this line of thought is if you make caps large enough in value, they become inaudible."

I'm strongly drawn to that conclusion. Actually, it was in the context of power supply capacitance that I first began thinking about this. I believe it totally defeats the often heard claim that "too much" power supply capacitance can make an amp sound bad. How can that possibly be true if the signal amplitude across the caps is insignificantly small? By definition, any modification of the waveform internally, within the capacitor, requires that a differential exist across its terminals.

It would be nice if we could all get on the same page regarding the electrical theory behind this concept. It extends to numerous capacitor applications in audio amps.
