Can one add too much Capacitance? More specifically: is there a maximum amount of Capacitance you would advice for a Mamba Monster or XL2?
Thanks!

You can't add too much capacitance... More is always better, but diminishing returns above about 1.2mf (1200uF)
Percentage isn't a good indicator either, the absolute ripple voltage is the best value to use. I prefer to see a ripple voltage below about 2V in my setups.
Thanks!
