How to improve power supply?


My pre has a separate ps and it's very inadaquate.
It's from the mid 90's. What are the most important parts upgrades since then?

Mu metal the transformer. Magnetic fields are Bad with a capital B.
Ptss, the magnetic fields, the induced magnetic fields produced by the transformer are bad for the sound and extend all around the transformer. Doesn't it make sense to get rid of these stray magnetic fields for once and for all?
All transformers should be wrapped with one or two,layers of mu metal, a highly permeable alloy. Toroidal transformers are no exception. In addition, if feasible, should be decoupled from the chassis by removing the bolt and by placing a layer of cork beneath the transformer, isolating the sensitive circuit boards from the transformers.
