Post Subject: Are We Taking Good Electricity Into Account Yet?Posted by Paul S on: 1/4/2009

Not exacty a direct response, but I have wondered for a while now if having good electricity as a starting point means one could benefit from simpler power supplies.  I mean, how many LCs does one need , given perfect, quiet AC to begin with?

While this question is probably best tested with amplifiers, because they draw the most current, I am thinking of big, fancy pre-amps (and phono stages) I have heard that were indeed quiet but also remarkably dead, which i always figured was just because of their gigantic, power-conditioning power supplies.  Maybe the good regenerator does the work better than the "conditioning" part of the component's PS, and maybe the good regenerator can even do its job better without the additional LCs sucking on it?

Any worthy comments from APS about the "nervousness" yet?  This nervousness is very interesting, and of course one NEVER sees this sort of test result coming from the "manufacturers", who invariably declare this sort of result as a puzzling anomaly, then go on to issue "improved" products without ever addressing it at all.

Best regards,
Paul S
