Hi, I dont think these Lab supplies are suitable for HIFI purposes as their is a lot of additional electronics and therefore noise in providing a range of voltages and displaying them too. I would agree that a well designed SMPS can beat a linear PSU. Even LINN is using SMPS in its Products (the highly rated Dynamic). I swapped the SMPS that was supplied with my VDAC, as it was overvoltage and VDAC was running hot for a single voltage low ripple SMPS and now the VDAC runs cool,which can only be better and more consistent sound wise.
The biggest change I made to my system was using a PS Audio Power Plant, the change was phenomenal. Previously I couldnt here any differences between changing phono/digital cables until i fed all the hifi power needs through the PPP. Now everything sounds clearer and i can swap cables and here differences. This may explain why some people think that sound differences between cables is just audiophile foolery, mains noise just swamps subtlety. -- c3p0 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ c3p0's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=20721 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=87755 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
