Post Subject: The amplifier's power supplyPosted by Paul S on: 12/4/2007
Peter, I wish I had more confidence in the amp's power supply as significant proof against the full range of AC power nasties.  In fact, I have long had the sense that there is such a thing as "over-regulation" where hi-fi power supplies are concerned, at least in terms of sonics, with a sort of homogenized and/or textureless sound one typical penalty.

It does seem like amps are generally less susceptible than front end components, given a similar level of regulation, or "pre-regulation".  I wish I could figure out how to do a decent battery powered phono stage to go with my battery powered DAC and passive pre-amp.

Best regards,
Paul S
