It is not underpowered/wimpy as it delivers 5V @ 2.5 amps which is exactly what is required. Replacing with a "bigger" (higher current capability) power supply won't make any difference on its own. Also there are different versions of the stock PSU and later ones are far less noisy in terms of radiated RFI. Ultimately the performance is limited by the internal voltage switching of the SB itself and that VFD which is a noisy component. By the way, I'm happy to debate this point. I've measured the audio performance of the SB3 with different supplies. Have you? This discussion is best conducted in the Audiophile Forum, where you will find lots of discussion on the pros and cons of expensive power supplies and other mods. -- Phil Leigh You want to see the signal path BEFORE it gets onto a CD/vinyl...it ain't what you'd call minimal...
