Switching and linear power supplies in hi-fi


Does anybody have any data on the percentage of high-end equipment using switching vs. linear power supply regulators?

I wonder if the majority of high-end equipment nowaday use switching than linear regulators?

Nighthawk, I was just trying to find out what people are using in their high-end equipment. But linear regulators are much better in term of noise control which is I guess pretty important in analog circuits.

Switching are probably used much more in digital application since they have better efficiecy and noise is less of an issue.
