I'm sorry. Where did I "deny" anything? I simply pointed out that the OP is concerned about replacing a wall wart that contains an entire power supply, which launched a discussion of switching power supplies (SMPS) vs "linear" power supplies (LPS) whereas your wall wart was (apparently based on what you wrote) a transformer. Whatever else constitutes the power supply of your turntable must reside on the TT chassis; it could be an SMPS type or an LPS type. Changing the transformer does not change the downstream characteristics of your PS, except whereas many times a "better" transformer may favorably affect function, at least to the ear.
Linear Power Supply?
Can someone tell me exactly what an LPS supposedly does to improve the operation of a turntable motor? Does it run more precisely at a given speed? Does it vibrate less? I have a SOTA Eclipse motor with Condor and Roadrunner. SOTA is coming out with an LPS option which they say is better than the SMPS wall wart, but I want to know exactly how it’s better. If less noise in my system is the benefit, then I believe I already have that addressed because I plug it into my PS Audio P20 power regenerator.
