Well, my first though is that $259 seems rather a lot if all you're trying to achieve is elimination of the potential RF effect of a switching PSU. I think I paid around $40 for the one unit I have, attached to an SB2.
Incidentally, the answer to the question "does the linear PSU make a difference in this particular system" is a resounding yes: no need for DBT!! The reason is that the SB2 is in close proximity to an FM radio, and the switching PSU makes the radio completely (and I do mean completely) unusable. Moving over to a linear PSU made it usable again. I would consider this test to be proof of the proposition that "the switching PSU throws out RF noise that *MAY* affect other components nearby". Whether that effect would show up as a subtle degradation of audio quality, as claimed by a number of listeners, I couldn't possibly say.
