I've done this on the low voltage PS in my Atma-sphere amps, replaced one huge can with a gaggle of much smaller, much lower ESR Panasonic TS-ED caps for higher total capacitance and yet better sound. (In the circlotron, the LV PS is in parallel with the output, so anything that lowers Z and improves performance in theory can be heard on the speakers.)

So, IMO, it's a good idea. But sadly, I think the Panasonic TS-ED series has been discontinued. There may be similar from Panny or Nichicon.
