If anybody's looking for one, I've got a regulated power supply and a Topaz Ultra-isolator 1KVA isolation transformer up for sale on Ebay (bids start at .01). Either made a big difference; the combo was very nice indeed.
I liked the effect so much that I sprung for an Equitech 2RQ 20A balanced power transformer. With that in place, though, using digital out, I can't tell any difference between the linear power supply and the wall wort, so I'm selling both the small isolation transformer and the linear power supply. I believe that part of difference people hear between different amps and various tweaks is how good their power is. In a controlled environment, with balanced, closely regulated power supplies, a lot of differences between equipment go away. Put them in the real world, however, and all sorts of differences appear. -- markgwoodruff ------------------------------------------------------------------------ markgwoodruff's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3726 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=23365 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
