Just received my LHY Linear Power Supply

I just received an LHY Power Supply from Vinshine Audio.  As always, Alvin and his team were wonderful to work with.  The addition of the LHY to my Innous Pulse Mini does make an audible difference.  The attack of bass has increased, as well as enhanced detail.  I wouldn't say it's a night and day difference, but one that is incremental.  I think anyone with a streamer that uses a switching power supply would experience a nice uptick in performance with the addition of a linear power supply.

It was your and SOIX recommendations that led me to the front end of my system.  Just added the LHY and am very happy with the results.  Many thanks to you guys for putting me on a good path.

Linear power supplies causing second-order harmonic distortion is the craziest thing I’ve read today :) 

It’s insane what people will believe without cross-checking with scientific research.

Just a heads up for those that might have interest that the LHY stand alone linear power supplies are available on Aliexpress for about 55% of the cost from Vinshine. Not sure how the tariff situation is affecting prices from Singapore or China into the US currently but Ali ships Tariff free into Canada (where I'm located) and possibly other locations. 

Would certainly agree that a decent quality LPS will be big bang for the buck with many/most 5V or 12V streamers or DAC's. And there are some very good power supplies beyond the LHY's available on Ali at very reasonable prices. I have 5 of them here powering various pieces of equipment, ranging in price from the ultra inexpensive to the reasonably inexpensive, maximum $140 U.S. that one being an 80W, 12V, 5A capable with R-core transformer.

With my Wiim Pro I was able to notice better dynamics right way.  I believe it to be a nice upgrade for lower price streamers.
