I have the SB3 power supply plugged into a PSAudio P300 power plant (not quite the same as upgrading the power supply, I know), and it did seem to noticeably lower the noise level. Blacker backgrounds, and all that. However, the difference was much less than when I added the VDA-2 DAC, which really brought the sound of the SB3 up to the level of a high-end CD player. -- corbey My two-channel system: - SB-3 through a CIAudio VDA-2 DAC (and using Nokia N800 as a remote) - Sony SCD-1 CD/SACD player - WyeTech Labs Jade tubed preamp - Chord SPM 1200C power amp - Basis 2001 turntable w/ Graham Arm & Lyra Helikon cartridge - Klyne phono stage - Proac 2.5 speakers ------------------------------------------------------------------------ corbey's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=11286 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=36172 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
