Post Subject: Could well be the power supplyPosted by steverino on: 1/25/2016

Rowuk,

I think that is a good thought. I think power supplies are an afterthought to most audio designers or they think about it in simplistic terms such as bigger is better. I hate to confess this in a public forum but I have found better sonics result from use of the so called audiophile fuses also. Further, in budget gear I have found components using separate wall warts sound better than those with same box power supplies despite the wall warts being rather underpowered by conventional reasoning. But yes I think power supply design (or the lack thereof) may be the little elephant (or mouse) hiding inside the case.
