Well, I'm gullible enough that I will go along with just about whatever escoteric mod the Intelligentsia says works -- as long as it costs less than $20.00 ;-)
In the case of this power supply/choke debate, I think I am fairly sensitive to subtle grunge noise in my system. In fact, I was detecting a little, and I wondered if it was attributable to the switching power supply. As it turned out, the mechanical source selector on my ancient preamp must have had a little junk in it, because I turned it back and forth fast a few times, and the noise went away. But it did get me thinking about some sort of empirical test to compare the two styles of power supplies on the merits of the noise they inject into the signal path. I have a linear supply that I bought on eBay. Actually two came with my order, so I have an extra. I don't know a thing about them other than the seller claimed they were linear supplies. They produce 5V @ 2500mA. They're huge. They're big grounded suckers that weigh about three pounds. But I need to find a power adapter plug that will fit the lead coming out of the supply and the SqueezeBox, which I believe takes a size "N." -- jonheal Jon Heal says: Have a nice day! http://www.theheals.org/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ jonheal's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2133 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=20725 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
