The mere fact that you just had to come back one more time on this tells its own story. You said you were an engineer? - try some engineering then, instead of putting faith in dubious magazine articles and even more dubious internet links. Prove your replacement supply improves the audio replay quality... or even that it changes it in a truly noticeable way. Does Paul Hynes actually have a Touch and has he actually tested his regs with it? - I hope so because anyone claiming a blanket improvement over "SB3/Touch" as if they were similar had better have actually tested that. The two devices are very different - especially in terms of the areas that might be improved by the PSU! As for Ben Duncan - someone whose work I have studied over the last 30 years - I doubt he would make such claims unless he actually had a Touch and had tested it. Stop trolling and provide some FACTS. -- Phil Leigh You want to see the signal path BEFORE it gets onto a CD/vinyl...it ain't what you'd call minimal...
