switch mode power supply = trash?
Hi folks, I would like to ask you a rather dumb question: could one of you explain to me what are the benefits/disadvantages of a switch mode power supply compared with a conventional (lineair) transformer based power supply? I mean not the usual benefits like smaller dimension, cheaper, etc., but with regard to sonics. Among the respectable manufacturers and amplifier designers there seems to be different opinions regarding SMPS. Some regard this kind of power supply technology as trash, while others don't. What is the definitive answer to the question SPMS = trash?
