Post Subject: Is it not mad that we convert AC to DC then back to AC to finally get DCPosted by rowuk on: 1/25/2016

I have often thought that the necessity of a UPS comes from inadequate power supply design. Sure it is easy to buy a product to insert between the audio system and power line but at the end of the day, are we simply giving our power supplies an easier line frequency to convert to DC or a different impedance to work into or better filtration? Is there any research on what comes out of a sensitive devices power supply that helps create "not as bad" sound. I have seen scope views of the regenerated AC, but never anything from the audio device power supply.
