Why are choke power supplies still not common?


My Rowland model 8 ( original version with choke) seems fairly immune to power supply issues.. i have tried several power cords with little or no improvement, yet on lesser power supplies they make a big difference. Why don't manufacturers utilize this power supply more?

My MF Trivista SACD player has 5 choke regulted supplies. I can clearly hear differences as I compare power cords. Shunyatas ended up too edgy on the HF, Richard Grays were way better on HF so I picked them. Also while a good player modders often say it needs a lot of help. Clock,D/A area, caps and the like. One British company had a level one mod for about a thousand pounds. The full mod was about 2500 pounds. So what I'm saying I guess is that CR supplies are good but the whole synergy of a piece of gear is important like the synergy of a complete Hi-Fi system.
