Given that you've posted this in the Touch forum, are you testing this PSU with a Touch? - if not, what are you using? Are you judging the analogue outputs of a SB? How do you assess that "Distortion(unwanted sound) was clearly and substantially reduced"? What ancilliary equipment are you using? Can you quote some examples of the music you used to assess the PSU? -- Phil Leigh You want to see the signal path BEFORE it gets onto a CD/vinyl...it ain't what you'd call minimal...
