A separate power supply is not meaningful in the absence of sonic improvement. Consider the wall wart for instance as an example of a true separate power supply. Therefore trust your ears do determine better sound not a theorectical better sound based on circuit archetecture.
ear 868 0r modwright LS 36.5 w PS or VTL 7.5 S1
Hi There ,
I am considering for an upgrade from my current ear 868 preamp to Modwright LS 36.5 with separate power supply or the VTL 7.5 series 1 to pair with my Plinius SA-103 pwr amp and Dynaudio C4 speaker and air tight ATE 2005 phonostage w Transparent Ultra IC & Speaker Wire.
The 868 has a texture of live performance but a little forward sounding over the modwright but d LS 36.5 sounds good also but w lush & distinct separation of instruments and soundstage like the VTL 7.5 S1.
Is it really worth moving up for a preamp w separate power supply. Does it really make sense to justify 2 times cost of it ?
All suggestions , comments and experiences to share are greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
