I've got a serious question and there is no disrespect intended. Can I ask if you've had anyone else listen for a difference? Given how strong psychological factors can be and your own stated belief that there is no difference - have you considered the possibility that you're not hearing a difference where another person might find one? For the record, I've played with linear power supplies and found them to be a cost effective upgrade. A cheap $10 to $30 linear supply was a good step up. A surplus HP lab supply off of ebay at $20 was even better. I did the experiment with the old supply plugged in with the original cheap linear supply and I did find that the old supply degraded the sound when it was plugged in. But it's more than just that because it doesn't explain why the HP lab supply is an improvement over the simpler linear supply. The HP supply has remote sensing so that it regulates things right at the input to the SB3. Just a few more data points. ---Gary -- GaryB ------------------------------------------------------------------------ GaryB's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3169 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
