[QUOTE="croak, post: 873068, member: 361"] Seems like with anything in life you get cheap and good. Some switching supplies do have a lot of mush and seem to put mush on the mains. Good ones are actually quieter (certainly at 50/60hz) like the unit built by Bauer Audio as part of the DPS Phono Pre. I suspect mush on the mains is the prevailing culprit as using an isolation transformer on my Mac serving tunes made a noticeable difference. It?s also worth reading up and checking out about Jan Diddens silent switcher. He has come around from being one of the super regulator designers with Walt Jung to now having made an audio grade switching power supply module. Basically the advent of mobile phones and other devices have pushed development of high efficiency regulation to new low levels of noise. So perhaps what is needed is just a better power supply. Switching or linear. [/QUOTE]
