[QUOTE="kolakidd, post: 1170958, member: 14465"] There are also a variety of ways to lessen the effect of ripple noise. The ripple eater is one, the other is something I have played with from the diyaudiostore [URL]https://diyaudiostore.com/collections/kits-power-supply/products/smps-dc-filter-p089zb-kit[/URL] I used it on the Korg b1 preamp when I first built it. Later I switch to linear. That experience made me question my assumptions about SMPS. I don’t think a good smps with a filter is actually bad… I know… sacrilege. sonically and with basic sound-card (192) based measurement, I could see no difference. Pass actually recommends SMPS for that build. His reasoning is in the project write-up. Time will tell. My new amplifier build has two MicroAudio SMPS supplies on order. Chassis has space for linear if it feels wrong… but I think it’s time to start thinking about great audio and energy effeciency. Hypex and Connex are good. Both can be bought on AudioPhonics.fr. My last delivery took 4 days to get here! [/QUOTE]
