Does anyone have a view on the stability implications of placing the large electrolytic cap on the opposite side of the circuit. I'm guessing it's only going to respond over a relatively long timescale anyway compared to the smaller caps (which are there for rapid response).
Having it on the other side would be really useful given the left hand side is really packed when using just the 5 rails of a breadboard/stripboard...
However, it's not worth doing if it defeats the object of the cap altogether.
