Several experts have recommended having your digital components on a separate line from your analog ones. I am currently doing this on faith but have not done exhaustive tests to see if I could tell the differences. I intend to do so at a future date but other things have a higher priority. You can look at their arguments or try it yourself if you have separate lines handy as I do.
Too many power suppplies?
My system has an amp, a pre amp, a phono amp, a PS Audio Quintessence power station, turntable, cd player and a Wadia IPod dock running through the CD player. I have looked at outboard power supplies for the Wadia (CIAudio) and for the phono amp (SimAudio). Each promises significant improvements, but when I look at the growing complexity of the system, I can't help but wonder if I am about to cross the point of diminishing returns. I assume that at some point there is such a thing as too many separates - with too many outboard power supplies? Is there a potentially negative cumulative effect of having too many components in a system?
