NO I wouldn’t waste my money on S-Boosters, or similar premium PSUs. I actually have two: a 24V DC unit for very high end Clearaudio Master Innovation (which shockingly ships with a very cheap wall wart SMPS) and a 24V AC unit for a Benz PP-1 phono stage. Don’t ask why I did this experiment twice. No change to sound quality, in either case. There are a plethora of other things you can do to actually affect the sound of vinyl playback - have fun!
3k budget for Turntable and Phono Noob- do I need external power supplies?
Good Day All,
Trying to put together a vinyl rig for the first time, the local shops all have Rega and Project so will likely land there however open to suggestions
Is it worth adding a $500 Sbooster or IFI Elite to either the TT or phono or both?
or should I up budget to 4k without them?
I was thinking either Rega P3 Special edition with their Aria phono or Project X1B with their balanced phono
thanks in advance
