What was all the debate about I thought - would a regulated, linear supply really improve on the stock wall wart ? So after searching around for a suitable supply I came a cross an Acopian 5v, 5A (bit of overkill there perhaps) unit. This is fully boxed although AC input is by tag strip on the front so should be kept away from prying fingers etc.
Anyway, from the first few seconds it was clear that something had changed - I was hearing new things from my FLAC recordings. There did not seem to be much change, if any, to frequency extension, dynamics or sound level. The best way I can describe it is that another "veil" has been lifted, lowering an already low noise floor to vanishingly low levels. I'm assuming that this has allowed more ambient musical information to come through unimpeded. Images seem a little more three dimensional, stage width now easily exceeds the outside edge of the loudspeakers, pianos seem to have taken on a new breadth. Whether this is a result of the power feed to the SB3, or a reduction in switch mode artefacts not reaching the digital processing sections of my Lyngdorf (TACT) amp I couldn't say. But there has, for me, been a worthwhile improvement, made all the better considering the great price I got the Acopian for !
