Hello,
I know very little about electricity, so please forgive my silly
questions.
I have read that upgrading the power supply benefits the SB's sound.
Now, just for curiosity sake, how can Volts have a sound?
They're not silly, but you've combined two questions into
Yes, done it all. I have a linear power supply with a super-regulator
powering the 5V input. My concern is more the SB's other internal power
supplies.

No it wasn't, but if one can't hear the difference between SB with and

Darn, I'm jealous of you, P! You keep doing these tweaks and keep having
good results!
I put in a Furutech FP15A (cu) receptacle a few weeks ago, and noticed
absolutely no difference whatsoever :-(
I do like the good grip of the Furutech though, that's an improvement.

just ordered the sb3, and a month later the new and improved sb4
appears.
