Default Thoughts on this little oddity, anyone ...?


"Arfa Daily"
"Dave Platt"

As a result, an amp which was designed with a "not-so-stiff" power
supply system, may be able to deliver a slightly higher amount of peak
power before it begins to clip and distort.

Thanks Dave. This seems to be what everyone is thinking, and makes a lot
of sense when you stand back and think about it



** Dave is wrong.

The only time the OOPS idea increases power is when the test frequency is
low, less than 120Hz.

This is why Bob Carver did it - to reduce by half LF ripple on the PS
voltage at frequencies between 20Hz and 120 Hz to meet his published power
specs.
