I recommended taking the rectifier output directly to the
two storage caps by a twisted triple conductor, so that no
current pulses passed through any ground or supply traces.
The storage caps should be right at the output pair, since
their load current is the single largest single load on
these capacitors, and proximity keeps those large output
currents out of the rest of the supply and ground traces.

The output circuits currents have a mcuh lower peak value than the
charging current of the storage capacitors. The frequencies in the
charging current are harmonics of the mains frequency and not really
related to the content of the sound bing produced. A small cross talk
from the output section's current will be a small distortion of the
signal and thus much harder to detect.
