Jeff, my response was not aimed at you. I meant what I said, which was that IMHO with a big enough reservoir cap and no great variation in current demand, voltage sag shouldn't be a problem. Now, that is not to say that a reservoir cap solves all problems for class A. I'm not saying there's no point in refining the PS to make it sound better. Nobody wants to listed to HF noise, mains-borne inductive spikes, SS diode hash, poor quality electrolytics or any other undesirable effects that can be caused by a PS that's not doing its job very well.Once you have current demand that can vary, then you need a stiffer PS to avoid the dreaded sag (which may be loved by some guitar players but not by HiFi enthusiasts). Obviously, you're not going to achieve this with a PS with high DCR unless you use active regulation, which most people would rather avoid.
