Heftier doesn't mean better. That's not what's in play here. The reason why Naim and Cyrus PSU upgrades to their pre-amp.line level products work is that they are providing discrete supplies to different parts of the circuitry with additional isolation of noise etc. No extra ooomph involved as you say, just less interaction between stages.
This is why a simple upgrade to the external PSU of the SB won't achieve a similar result. There is only one way in for the supply - through that DC connector on the back. You can put a sub-station into it and it won't make a blind bit of difference since it will always only ever connect via the first regulator in the internal circuit. The SB+ is different in this respect as it is not constrained by the single connector... -- Phil Leigh You want to see the signal path BEFORE it gets onto a CD/vinyl...it ain't what you'd call minimal...SB3+Stontronics PSU - Altmann JISCO/UPCI - TACT 2.2X (Linear PSU) + Good Vibrations S/W - MF Triplethreat(Audiocom full mods)- Linn 5103 - Aktiv 5.1 system (6x LK140's, ESPEK/TRIKAN/KATAN/SEIZMIK 10.5), Townsend Supertweeters, Kimber & Chord cables Outdoors: Boombox+Creative Sub (If I remember to turn it on...) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Phil Leigh's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=85 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=59264 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
