hi all,
Are there any recommendations for a sensibly priced Linear Power Supply
for my new SB Receiver, please?
I'm currently running it through Quad 34/606, if that's relevant. Will I
even notice a difference?
anything else I should be considering...?
thanks very much indeed.
best regards,

I'm still wondering why you're not getting higher correlation at high
volume. It suggests to me some limiting factor, maybe some clipping or
distortion at high volume, that is masking the effect until you get down
to lower volume levels. In my tests the decrease in

Correct!
If volume is at 100 - the squeezebox is bit transparent. This is
proven by people who use it to send 5.1 digital encoded surround sound.
I think you mean't SNR decreases as the volume is reduced below 100.

Got the KW250s from Lintone Audio in Gateshead, UK. That was a year ago,
I'd be surprised if they still have any but you could give them a call
to find out.http://www.lintone.co.uk/

Can you tell the difference between 44.1/16 and 96/24?
I did an experiment tonight:
Music:
When I Dream from Carol Kidd's latest Dreamsville
44.1/16 ripped from CD layer of Hybrid SACD
96/24 downloaded from Linn Website studio master
System:
Source: Transporter
Pre: NAC202, HiCap, NAPSC
Do an ABX test and post the results, should be an interesting listening
test :)
There's recently been a big discussion around this on hydrogenaudio I
think.

Not because I believe that 96/24 is an audibly better delivery format
than 44.1/16 in a domestic environment (I don't), but because it would
appear that the record company hasn't deliberately trashed the CD layer

Volume at 100 and fixed are the same thing.

Sean - I figured out what I was doing wrong - On my digital volume test
I'd forgotten to change the evaluation frequency range in ADM from its
default of 100Hz to 12kHz. I've just rechecked and I get the same
results trend as you if I use the full frequency range.
The idea of modifying the music file once and hence saving on processing
via the plug in, sounds like a good one until you make a change in your
room or want to play the same file elsewhere - then the sound is
'pre-distorted' to fix a problem that no longer applies.
I'm sure its possible - in

Hi Phil,
Sorry to be dense - do you mean there is no 3rd prong (safety ground)
on the linear supply's power cord, but instead just hot and neutral?

My SB+ only supports upto 24/48, but I have compared that against a 16
bit version of the same file, having used Foobar to downsample(?) from
24 to 16 bit. IMO the 24 bit sounded a good deal better, at least on
my system.

A two prong only factory plug (not one that is cut or broken off by the

The transporter has internal jumpers to lower the output voltage if
you're using a powerful amp. This way you can run the tranporter

I'd also advise getting an amp with balanced inputs since you have that
