Actually, using a portable AM radio to spot RFI sources is well
documented. It is the simplest way to determine this type of
interference. I think your comments about AM listening preferences came
a little heavy handed. No one is talking about using the radio for
entertainment purposes.

What does putting a radio next to the power supply have to do with the
sound produced by an SB3? Put your preamp next to the transformer of
your power amp and it
For what its worth, I've got switching supplies all throughout my house
including one that near for my little XM radio player (myfi). None of
them put out anyway near as much RF noise as this SB3 switching PS.
Listening to AM is impossible. The internal PS in the SB3 are also
noisy but not near

Oh bugger, so the Bryston has gone AWOL. Maybe it had a hard time in

It also decodes HDCD, which most current DACs lack.
