Replacement for loricraft power supply

This thread reminded me that I bought a Mark Kelly power supply kit years ago. Mark designed it for the 301/401. I was curious as to how it would compare to the Loricraft. It is not much more than a few circuit boards and a long list of parts to be rounded up. It does convert our power to Euro spec power. Guess I need to find the time to glue it together. Mark was very proud of it at the time. He does know his stuff. Wonder how well it works?

I have heard on a very tweaked lenco (around 360 lb)a dedicated power supply , the improvement in sound was quite noticeable specially in the bass.
Tt was expensive at around 2400 dollars,and big and heavy (around 60 lbs) .I have been told that it's very complicated to make one. You have a frequency generator ,then an amplifier which must give 18W on 220 volts at 50 Hz,and even the powerful amplifier for outside event were smoking after a while.

I understand that ages ago ps audio used to sell P300 which allow voltage & freq adjustment . I wonder whether that can be use effectively

P300s and later versions are still readily available. I've never played with one, but I think someone told me that the frequency adjustment is only a few Hz up and down from a center frequency of 60Hz, so it may not get down to 50Hz. But this is hearsay.

Steve, The solid-state Garrard/Lenco PS that Audioblazer and I had on order from Mark Kelly was to be a completely finished product, as received by the end user. In fact, he built them and recently sent me a photo of a completed unit. But at the last minute, literally, he found that the key IC in his prototype unit failed prematurely, and he is now unwilling to go forward with the product at all. Those of us who had one on order have been offered the option of a tube version, using KT88 output tubes. The latter is also far along in development and build, according to Mark.

Out of curiosity, what advantage would a tubed power supply offer over a solid state version? I was thinking this might be a viable option for my 401. It seems to cover all the bases, and it's relatively inexpensive. Has anyone an opinion?
