Teddy Pardo’s whole value proposition is that they use a different design that shuns large transformers and capacitors that are, according to Pardo sales materials, noisy and require recapping in ten years. As if anyone on Agon keeps any piece of electronics for ten years! I ordered a dual output 5V supply from Teddy Pardo to replace SMPS in both a Bluesound Node 130 and a Chord Qutest DAC. Will see how that goes.
LPS Options
I have an SGC ST i5 hosting my Roons core. Just saw a SGC LPS on the used market. Are these units worth the expenditure? Are there better LPS options for the
SGC ST i5? I have the small watt SGC LPS powering my router and it appears to work nicely. I dont think I have rebooted it since I hooked it up. ST i5 has been stable as well but it has crashed a few times but otherwise purdy solid.
