I have been running the wireless SB3 with the ELPAC power supply for about a week...it stays nice and cool so it would appear that it is "safe" .... while I can't compare the sound before and after with any kind of measurements... I would say that the combo of SB3/ELPAC simply blows me away with the depth and clarity of the sound. My setup: SB3/ELPAC > digital RCA out > ethereal D4 75 ohm coax > Theta Timebase Linque Conditioner > ethereal D .5 > MSB LINKDAC > Revox preamp > Revox Agora B powered speakers (Revox system 20 years old and still sounds great!) cvj -- cvj ------------------------------------------------------------------------ cvj's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2979 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=19452 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
