Well, I think I've sorted it. One cap had an ESR of 7Ω an another couple measured around the 3Ω mark so I changed those.
If anything it works a bit too well as I suffer from "Next-door's SMPS Syndrome." In an attempt to get away from this I put two PP3s in it and it then seemed generally better than on my power supply. This is the first time that that has been found wanting.
I tried playing 6 Music through it and it sounded fantastic, it was difficult to believe it was only in mono.
I've now got to lock my drill up before I succumb to the temptation to start modifying it.
