I hesitate to wade into the linear versus switch mode power supply fray, not having the physics/EE background, but I can't refrain from noting that in the world of Linn enthusiasts, the later switch mode power supplies (Brilliant SMPS) seem to be typically rated as sounding much better than the earlier linear power supplies (in otherwise similar components such as preamps). (I have never made any comparison though.) It would seem that there are SMPSs and SMPSs...
