"But then there are the designers who claim too much capacitance ruins the sound."
Presumably such designers are finding that they prefer the sound they get when they effectively introduce a tone control by means of limiting the low-frequency response of the amplifier, achieved by causing the power-supply impedance to become non-negligible at low frequencies. That is fine, if that is the sound colouration that they like. But there must surely be better ways of introducing a tone control for the amplifier than this.
I have nothing against tone controls, but I would think it is better to use a well-designed device with convenient adjustments available for personal taste, rather than a fixed low-frequency fall-off whose slope might, or might not, be to the individual listener's liking.
