Will (2) paralleled 100uf electrolytics filter out as much noise (potential for hum, AC line noise) as a single (1) 200uf electrolytic in the same spot?
We're talking the first filters in a power supply here.
Thanks

all else being equal, yes.
(e.g., same or higher voltage rating, same electrolytic design/specs other than value...)

Thank you.
All else is equal, I am just adding an identical 100uf to the 100uf already there: 100uf + 100uf
Same brand and series.

as usual, Rod Elliot has a good read regarding linear DC supplies including
a subtopic related to the original post:
