Linear Power Supply


I am thinking of venturing into the LPS world for a Wattson Madison ( original edition ) DAC-streamer that I acquired for a second system.  Rather surprisingly, I tried it in my primary system ( Leben cs600 and DeVore O93 ) and found it sounded superb and more enjoyable than my Electrocompanient ECM. Given the fact that it comes with a wall wart power supply, I thought a LPS might improve its sonics further.  In the course of doing some research I found a wide range of "sonic" characteristics in the different LPS available in the 500-1000 dollar price range. The potential power supplies I researched include Linear Tube Amplifier, Teddy Pardo, Fidelizer, Farrad and SBooster to name a few.  My goal is to improved bass response and add to the natural organic tone of the Wattson.  I am curious as to what others have found in their searches.

I use an LHY for my iFI pro & it does make a sonic difference for the better.

I've been contemplating a Solar battery (pure sine wave) for my Dac & Streamer. Maybe next month. ????  

The sbooster has made an improvement over the smps in my Lumin U1 Mini.  

I made the same LPS journey and had purchased a custom dual variable LPS from Pine Tree Audio.

 

The greatly enhanced dynamics, expanded soundstage, and more authorative presentation across all frequencies was very much a welcome surprise.

 

The duL variable allows me to change the voltage very easily across 2 outputs in case I ever switch out older components for new gear...i.e., not everything runs on 5v and 12v (WiiM Pro Plus and Geshelli J2S DAC respectively).

 

Good luck.
