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)

A one farad capacitor can only supply one amp for one
second at one volt. Hardly worth the expense.

It can only prevent a voltage drop on the first few peaks
of a SSB modulated signal. It's usefulness would be almost
totally drained after speaking just one appropriate word, pointless.
