At least as far as I'm concerned it's not contentious that the linear might be less noisy, or might have less EMI (which can cause problems like a hum). What's more contentious is whether it can make a difference if it *doesn't* affect the noise floor (as seems to be the case with mine). How do you like the Orions? I'm seriously considering building some. -- opaqueice ------------------------------------------------------------------------ opaqueice's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4234 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=32155 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
