I noticed that a lot of high end auto audio systems use a capacitor in
series with the main power lead to the amplifies so the amp hits harder.
Could this same principle be applied to ssb, I think it can.
place a 1 farad audio cap inline with the power lead to say a Texas star
dx1600 and you run the rig on ssb the cap will discharge under peak load
giving you a higher average output.

Any comments? (and I mean REAL comments)

There's not even close to enough stored energy in a large capacitor
to make any peak voltage difference that would translate into any
perceivable gain.

P.S. the cap is in parallel

^corrected grammar ^
