After reading several of the threads relating to linear power supplies, I figured I would spend the $25 or so and try the Globe Tek linear supply.
I am going to start by saying that I know how controversial this subject has been in the past, so the following is only my opinion, that is it. Further, I have an extremely limited understanding of how electronics work, I just know what I like and don't like in terms of sound. My system is SB3 > Audible Illusions L2 > McCormack DNA-1 > Revel F-52. I live in NYC. All that being said, what a difference, night and day! I can't believe it. Honestly. And to answer the double blind test question, I have one better. My wife, whom has a fantastic ear, and indulges me in the hobby, was sitting on the couch reading the newspaper and she put it down, shot a look, and asked how much I spent!!! She had no idea that I made any changes to the system. As far as she was concerned we were sitting on the couch, casually listening, reading as we try to do whenever we can. The difference, again in my opinion and my wife's is the enhancements to the soundstage, placement of instruments, separation of instruments, clarity, deeper clearer bass- basically you name it - My wife and I heard a significant improvement. Perhaps it is the "noise" of NYC, the "dirty" power, whatever it is it made a difference in my system to my ears and to my wife's. -- j.wales ------------------------------------------------------------------------ j.wales's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4569 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=32231 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
