I guess I could have posted this in the Elpac thread or one of the other power supply ones; but I am only concerned with gross EMI in the AM and FM bands, not esoteric audio issues.
I have just hooked up an SB2 to a Tivoli Model Two for bedroom listening. I expected some noise from the stock switching power supply. However the amount of garbage, particularly in the AM band, that the current supply spews out when the SB2 is hooked up is ridiculous. AM is virtually unlistenable and FM is affected as well. Now I am assuming that most of this EMI is from the power supply, not generated by the SB2 itself. Can anyone out there with the Elpac, or other linear supply, confirm that decent radio reception is possible with the SB2 hooked up? Finally, are there any radio friendly switching supplies out there? IIRC there are some techniques to quite them down but I suspect they are rarely used on mass market, el cheapo, ones. In any event I'm probably going to order up an Elpac to see if I can get a setup where I don't have to continually unplug the SB2 to listen to the radio. -- Daryle A.
