But to get back to my original point with regards black gates. Do you think there would be any point in using three 1000 caps rather than one higher value? Would each cap have a lower ESL, and therefore be able to deliver faster current? And how would the lower ESR affect the sound?ESL is largely determined by the lead spacing of the capacitor so if you're comparing capacitors with the same lead spacings, their ESL will be roughly the same regardless of value. Therefore paralleling them will reduce ESL over what you would get with just a single capacitor. And this can be a good thing.
As for ESR, personally I haven't found it, in and of itself, to have any effect and don't give it any particular consideration.
