   I can't comment on the actual device, that would be to go beyond my skill   
   level, but doubling the filter capacitance of my Linsley-Hood dual 75 watt   
   amp had a beneficiary influence on its bass range. Undetected alumium spill   
   from drilling the holes had a negative influence later ... I gave it to   
   someone who might be able to use the very fine mains transformer in some   
   other context.   
      
   A learning experience.   
      
     Kind regards
