  Hi.
  
  Since you already got both banks built. Just try them both & see if you could hear the difference. IMO, I doubt yu could.

    I only have one 1500mf bank built for now.That's why I posted to get opinions on the matter.That's a lot of caps Granpa!!

    Hi.
    
    A cap in theory would be pure capacitive. But any realworld cap is a very complex AC network comprising series & parallel resistance DCR, inductance L & capacitance C. So by parallel multi caps, the resultant impedance of the cap bank would be reduced due to reduced internal DCRs & inductances vs a single cap of same size.
    
    If an amp with 1.4 million uF 'lytic caps in parallel can give 0.8uS rise time as I posted above, why you worry?
