This is not the test you would have done, but provides at least some comparison.
I tuned an AM radio to a station that sounded clear and strong. Plugged in the little stock switcher, and didn't notice any change. I wasn't trying to hear small changes, just a quick test. The output of the supply was not connected to anything. Then the radio was tuned to a weaker AM station (about half strength on the radio signal strength meter). Plugging in the stock supply caused awful noise out the radio speaker. Very annoying ticking/buzzing. Unplugged the PS and the noise went away. Plugged in the elpac and didn't notice any difference in the sound of the weak AM station. I also have a surplus linear supply from Hosfelt. I found out about it from a thread on Audio Circle. This one: http://audiocircle.com/circles/viewtopic.php?t=21353&sid=05b43e8be27824d18ca43cdfe058f6ab The last post on the first page tells you how to find it. It's about $10 less expensive than the elpac and looks like a much better design. I plugged this supply in during the AM radio test and didn't notice any problem. I've not tried this supply with the Squeezebox yet because the connector needs to be replaced. That's the nice thing about the elpac, it's plug'n play. Hope that sheds at least a little light.
