I have the Welborne supply. I have a wife who is very acceptable to A-B'ing as well as my 90 YO Dad who follows this hobby of ours. It's amazing how good his hearing is!
On with the Welborne PS. A-Bing the Welborne we heard no discernible difference. At first we thought we heard a change in smoothness but not enough to pass our the A-B testing. I was disappointed at the expense, especially given the shock over the power cable upgrade(Power cables were VH Audio flavor 4 - outlet to Power Pack 5 line conditioner modded). Two Weeks have gone by and our system is really sounding great! Can't remember the last time we had the TV on! Last night out of curiosity I switched out the Welborne PS and replaced it with the switcher. I felt something missing with the switcher but didn't have a chance to A-B properly so I cannot draw a conclusion. It will be interesting for me to see if this supply needed a break-in period. I'm hopeful to A-B tonight to draw some conclusion to the PS upgrade where it seems many folks think this makes a significant upgrade to our SB2,3's. My amps are very resolving so perhaps that factors into the test. Being the audiophile that I guess I've been for 40 plus years I had become pretty jaded when it comes to certain so called audio myths. I've never had a problem hearing differences in interconnect cables and have built many an interconnect as my job/position affords me this. Recently I built some DIY power cables from VH Audio. We were completely surprised at the differences not just in clarity and dynamics, but imaging. I had resigned myself to think that the Def Tech's (bi-polars) I've owned for 10 plus years would NEVER give me a solid central image. Got one now! We honestly don't have the understanding why this cable had such a positive effect on sound but it did. I've changed 2 others since then, to the pre/pro and a PS3. The effects were both positive but to a lesser degree, probably due to the former upstream power cable upgrade. I feel it a waste of time to replace the stock power cord on the 5V linear. So I'll do it anyway. After all, this is our hobby. -- NoFlyZone ------------------------------------------------------------------------ NoFlyZone's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=15336 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=31758 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
