Fair point well made, its good to be sceptical. In general principle your experience has taught you to be sceptical and thats good, me too. Specifically though - and not trying to be funny - but how does the instruments you work on (that are outside the range of human hearing)have any bearing on audio equipment? :) The forum here has been round this roundabout a million times though, and I don't want to go down this argument - rather get on with my life. Going by who designed it, trust me, I'm sure this supply measures fantastic. I've done more than one experiment with linear supplies actually and had good and bad results. The point is they CAN MAKE WHAT THEY ARE CONNECTED TO SOUND DIFFERENT. A cheapie I tried (Strontionics I think?) buzzed like a bee, heated the room up and sounded worse than the stock supply. ..and that was on my SB3. SO not all linear supplies (like switchers) are not equal. I'm a skeptic on a tight budget so colour me sceptical about such things. Thing is, this supply HAS been shown to work...it made my digital source sound a helluva lot more involving, musical and enjoyable than before. How do you measure that? ;) I don't know what a power supply sounds like and I dont care to honestly. :) Its the final result that comes out my speakers and hits my ears that matters and this made that experience a whole lot better. I mentioned that it made my hifi addictive again... its about musical enjoyment and its better becasue of this psu. In my book thats it being shown to work. As I said, I'm not trying to justify anything or get drawn into debate, just passing on my experience. -- Gazjam ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Gazjam's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=18604 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=90742 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
